Roosts of the Latter Day Corvids

Roosts of the Latter Day Corvids They look down on us as we pass Watch our busy lives as we shop at the Coop shop. They know me now after fifty years and give the good-person caw call They roosts high in the plane tree copse rocked all year round to wind lullabies They visit my wife’s garden at time...

Monsoon Moment

A warm wind washes the forecourt Palms sway - lithe dresses on a line Droplets splatter the dwarapalaka he dances round the puddles - a black faced shaker faqir. Raj ribbons prominent from an unmentionable age Guards in Empire Khaki wave me through heads wagging side to side as Hindus do The lift gr...

Re: A poem that I never wrote

These are suggestions Shriram, they don't have to be entertained,

Re: Still Life with Husband and Wife

Bernie ole bean You have been working on this for while. Nearly there. You are not sure about the last stanza, not quite. The airport taxi suddenly lurches, you press to my chest, the heart leaps up.
