Long Peck Poems

“Son”...”say goodnight to grandpa”

Spurred by mother dearest 
as well as other politesse
drummed into her second born
fobbing blandishments as incentive
tumbled off fingers of prodigal son
tripped wordsmith to splutter forth
forthwith the following lines.

Back in the day 
quaint...

“Barking Up the Wrong Tree” 

ghost gums
shed their bark 
the min-min 
makes good use of it

Gulping down the
Lead tainted water
Like Romans
Romans
