Narrative
The Trickle of Wicken Fen
Listen to poem:
Blurred bushes rush by
Brain bends
Time out far across the fens
A solitary heron flaps
The pterodactyl lazy loads
A flyover of long strokes
Of reed brushes
Eels writhe
A dog trotting
Leaps across the dyke
A wand of estuary birds
Cast up from the land
Coloured sand vast across the morning sky
The power when it comes
Succumb
The trickle of Wicken Fen....

Paradox
Today, I saw a young man die
I watched men pull their triggers
I heard women exclaim and sigh
Across her chest, another clasped her fingers.
“Tell me, what was his crime?”
I asked. “What was his offence?
Why end a life in its prime?”
The reply: “E jump pesin fens!”
“Whose fence?”, I asked.
“Dat politishan fens. Na food e go tif.”
I walked on, emotions unmasked
Lost in deep thoughts mixed with grief....

Lincoln Cathedral
From the miles of flatness and the fens
Comes the hill where this Cathedral stands
Everyone can see this floodlit site
When the moon is out and there is night.
I saw it through the window as I turned
It’ struck me down with beauty never learnt.
As I lay surprised upon the stair
I absorbed the beauty I saw there
Should we worship beauty such as this?
It strikes us with a hammer not a kiss...

Nature Nonsense
NATURE NONSENSE
In the glens
by the fens
little foxes in their dens.
Among the pines
grow the vines
little squirrels use as blinds
In the brook
under foot
little fish caught by the hook.
In the sky
see them try
little eaglets learn to fly.
In the trees
full of leaves
little bear cubs hide with ease.
In the ponds
among the fronds
little frogs sing their songs.
As I stand
in the sand
I behold nature grand...

Dreaming Wheel Forbidden Desire
you on one shore
I, on another
range is vast,
surrounded by fens.
furious boiling men
loaded with guns
do you hear my heartache
ooh here you come
bold and fierce warrior
take me away and all
burn away my fevers,insecurities
save me from devil's foot
may i lean on your faithful arms
show me midnight,
dawn's wind blowing around
feeling grass and sand
your gentle touch
sound of the ocean
whispering sighs
its a Wonder Wheel...
