Who Put Luebella Down the Wych Elm
"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"
There are rumours
about me, some
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart
shaped planchettes
unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking
underfoot...

Blood On the Bible
The indecision builds
while staring into the velvet covered bible
and knowing that you have already
read more than was necessary.

Orion's Hope
Lights on dark canvas, the bow drawn back
A star arrow poised to shoot into the black
The archer's eye aims, he fires into space
But what is the target?The human race?
The brightness approaches, slowly at first
And then...

In Memory of Backyards
Back then,
backyards were big enough
to nurture a growing soul
and provide a space
for the earth to play out
its seasons in full rehearsal.
There were wide tracks
of grass, trees to climb,
old sheds to rummage
with their interiors...

Passing It Forward
Had a purge on my study today,
Loads of stuff to go away.
CD's and books, DVD's too,
All gathering dust, I'll never view.
Lots of bric-a-brac, pictures galore,
Cushions and ornaments and much more.
All stacked and piled on the...

To a Scrap Book
Library ~ daytime, empty, shelves are stacked

Several of the Greater Nations
Your suicide
Wrests the act from the hand
So that fire can envelop the bottle
And skyward
And bright
And living
Technicolour dances in extremes.
We effervesce and burst
We rise up and with a fury
A million...

Might Have Been Haunted
I think back of yesterdays
And particular summer days
When my brother and I might be bored or
Deviously in the mood to explore
Instead of conniving trouble to arouse
We would remember that old house
Abandoned way down the road
Decrepit...

And Then There Were None - For Agatha Christie
I’ve only desired to light old lamps with young wicks
(the tongues of flame must be blinking hard with vigilance)
Across dark, mildewed alcoves that smell of ink —her writing ink —
But one thing led to the...

Madame
The bric-a-brac shop waits on Rue Nationale.
In a sleepy French town.
It opens at ten,
And closes at one,
Till three.
Then on till seven in the evening.
Madame opens the shutters
Before going to feed her little dog,
Hettie.
Hettie's toenails...

Fete
Into the lane
come wind, impetuous rain.
Trees are now a threat,
gesturing wildly, angry,
promising to snap,
eager to pounce,
to crush in an embrace
of leaf and crusty bark.
The village fête, though,
is like the show:
it must go on,
it must go...

Let It Be Recorded
Let it be recorded
my wish to live
where I can sleep
in good weather or bad
on a beach festooned
in the bric-a-brac
of the ages.
Perhaps a vanishing glow
far to the south
all that is left
of that common pestilence
known intimately

Once within these very walls farmers woke at dawn.
The field was full of vegetable, the cows were in the barn.
