Un something or other
Goes along
Unknowingly
Unsteady
Unruffled
Underneath
Unknowingly
Undone
Unjust
Just that
That’s all
Unkempt
Undistinguished
Unknown
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by
Un something or other
Goes along
Unknowingly
Unsteady
Unruffled
Underneath
Unknowingly
Undone
Unjust
Just that
That’s all
Unkempt
Undistinguished
Unknown
From a small space
To a nowhere place
A meandering stream
To a river in spate
From a village
To a county
Which I call my own
Yet where I don’t belong
From a main road
To a motorway
Over a suspension bridge
To a walled city
Where love
Invited me
To the gallery
Then the theatre, and finally the hotel
Wallace Stevens
Let the fish go
I hung-on
To our sea-fret moorings
Now I talk of Saturday’s sunlight
In what is the overlong season of mists
Looking for a thought
With which
To begin the day
A place perhaps
Or a wave lapping
On a sun-soaked beach
Looking for a light
With which
To illuminate the idea
To present a future
From the past
Or maybe the present
