Five Poems

 

 

SOCIAL

 

I went out

yesterday evening

 

I had to go

to the shop

 

I’d run out of milk

 

 

 

POEMS

 

I’ve noticed

how poems

give birth

to other poems

 

I don’t like that

 

 

 

ZOO

 

Imagine

a list

of animals

 

That will save me

the trouble of writing

a poem called

ZOO

 

 

 

SPRING

 

Just lately

things

have been                   

a bit                

up and down

 

 

 

STARCH

 

Sometimes

I need

a good stiff

 

talking to
