Poetry

The World of Wonders Poetry Book

 

Collected poems that everyone

Can see themselves reflected in.

Of flower-strewn girls, of ponies gone,

A ranch-hand wreaks the deadly sin.

 

Filling up the parting glass;

Of cats and men and ladies, too.

World War One and graves en masse;

Of dynamite and the Devil’s brew.

 

Machu Picchu and Galway Town

Whoever said Old men don’t fall?

From Java’s mud to nature’s gown

The pages here unveil them all

 

Minimum arrestable delinquency;

The haggis that truly took my heart;

In elegant idiosyncrasy

I take my leave, I must depart.
