SIMPLY YEATS

My verse under Yeats’ carved door
he merrily chuckled at white 
envelope, sketched butterfly 
said he preferred to receive 
verses this way rather 
than reading them across 
post-modern websites 


He invited me to tea
we simply savoured small
cheese squares, crumbly 
scones watching a squirrel 
chomp a cheerful chestnut 
lost and found
What word can describe 
fleeting images of poets
graduated, yet living on ?


Perhaps vacant
Vacancy who awaits 
a word wandering 
manifesting like a 
lover expecting the
Beloved with a 
cherry
