A love in verse

Classic

I’m a classicist of the old school

I’m into rhyming, iambs, dactyls

Go blank sometimes, but essentially cool

In the classical manner even if it kills


And the ancient themes of love and that

And growing old and missing old places – 

And having a Muse? – I’m where it’s at!

I got the best – the finest of faces


Like Cleopatra or Helen of Troy

Only better! – sorry yours ain’t classic

My Muse sure makes me a lucky boy

It’s not for me money – she knows I’m brassic

Take away the T and she’s fantasic!

Old Friends

Seagulls- you see them all your life

And hear them- that cacophony!

Far inland even on Parliament Hill

Thanks to God

With Allie singing round the place

Gracing the stairs as I say my prayers

Letting the sun start from her face...
