Angels

Tags

angels, christmas, humor, humour, poem, Poetry, reindeer

I’ve seen sparkly lights in windows
of shops full of jingling bells
I see miserly men smile
I see the angels roar high
in the air on a streak of snow
I know they’re angels
I’ve seen them flash in the setting sun
I’ve seen them I tell you
they’re as true as true can be
I’ve seen them
though they could be reindeer

Person

Tags

charity, dogs, people, person, poem, Poetry, poverty, sadness

He holds out his can with
very little if any hope of alms
the battered sprig of mistletoe
having nil effect on the passing
populace that shared
not a smile not even
a sneer with the person
that real person that sat with
his spare hand
smoothing his dog

Comfort

Abse, book, poem, Poetry

Perfect afternoon
Found a comfortable chair
And a good novel

(Ash on a Young Man’s Sleeve.

Cool

cool, jellyfish, nature, poem, Poetry, Quatrain, sea

Sometimes the sea
Looks like a moisturising gell 
Cool, clear, refreshing 
But with jellyfish 

Robbed

haiga, photo, photography, poem, Poetry, Quatrain, windows

Bricked up the windows 
Robbed them of sunshine’s delight
A terrible wrong
Perpetual night

Moment

My five a m moon
Moment of contemplation 
Sparrow hawk speeds by
Glint of a high plane 

Art?

Tags

haiga, Haiku, humor, pallet, photo, photography, poem, Poetry

A simple pallet
Does a photograph change it
Is it art or junk?

Bird

Jackdaw in a magnolia 
Its bright blue eye
impervious to blossoms
Too busy, being a bird
