for PATTAYA TRADER 228 (A)

SMALLER-WORLD-IS-SMALL-COMFORT?
The longtailed-titmouse,
yes the longtailed-tit,
tinier than the wren if
not for its tail, it
builds a nest that's a feathery-ball.
Are worlds comfier when quite small?

REACH-NOW-FOR-FAR-AWAY-RAINBOWS
Larger than is life
let the verses dwarf
even the frost-giants
of the Viking-North,
and thaw their snow,
and melt their frost,
carve-up their ice.
Gods and fairy-gold are lost?

DREAMS-OF-THE-DICTATORSHIP-KIND-
HAVE-NOT-THE-WORDY-POET-I
There's the sort of artist
who is a natural-rebel born,
and there is the political-rebel
who is dreaming to conform
to a system of another kind;
no free-spirit, no free-mind.

IRELAND'S-GREEN-EYED-GIRL
She'd an Irish name
that meant elgantine.
Her grass-green eyes
gazed deep into mine.
Green as meadows,
green the girl's eyes
which gazed into mine
blue as were the skies.
