Long Man for all seasons Poems

He gave me a strong impact,
with his gift for immemorial gestures;
he embraced the sick and handicapped

The Spaniel

A Spaniel that uses its head 
Can tell when its owner’s unfed 
So instead of a duck
That is down on its luck 
Will deliver a pizza instead
 
The Affenpinscher (Affen)

Not sniffle nor snuffle nor...

Well Barack Obama has won a last,
The Country swayed like barley grass.
We all look forward beyond today
The people now have had their say.

The World still spins around and round
But squares itself...

Vivaldi man of “Four Seasons”
Played his violin for a reason
While singing the strings
Excellent music he brings
Great melody it rings

“La Primavera” sole concerto
Uplifting the spirits without alto
Amsterdam, Prague, Venice and Vienna
Spectacular operas making souls remember 
Strings...

Both unfortunately and painfully

A tragedy has broken my family

And everything changed from that moment on

What has been done

Now can never be undone

It is an ancient ancestry;
A horse hoof and man’s hand —
A primal link back to the sea—

You stop and take a break—
But are you...

What a region to inhabit for a lifelong.
Language of numbers in the distance of superior,
And just a little lower than Viewless Pasadise. 
Numbering stars of measureless,
With symbol majuscule side by side.
Mankind,
Reach is no more than...

Armchair ambassadors
Lying in wait
Have all the criteria
For the perfect state –

That Garden of Eden
That Nirvana afar
History just slaps them
So they raise up the bar

It’s so easy to solve the crisis
From at home in your easy...

(for J.B.P.)

A polarizing figure
A catalyzing force
A man for all seasons 
He’s a man called Horse

A strong man in the wheelhouse
A tall man in the field 
No crow of ruin touches him
His constitution, steeled 

What dragon...

...for the Rev Eric Shirvell-Price


A blizzard of papers blanketed his desk.
His pipe rack stood like a chess piece, 
mutely waiting to be shifted.
Sepia toned photographs lined the mantlepiece,
like soldiers standing at attention, 
and there was...

A man for all seasons,
A well seasoned man.

Creating borders and gardens,
With a well drilled plan.

A natural flair for a detailed scheme,
Hornbeam or Box for that private screen.

Colour and structure always in mind,
Planting for futures and...

Is exactly who you are!
There for us all, you are a humble, 
shining star.
When feeling down, you stand there
for me?
A humble poet, dedicated first, to
God’s divinity.
Then always, at work, you, serving humanity.
You are some special...
