Sabbath
come Sunday I have
more time to love
time to sin and make
a ceremony of it
like reading the Book
of Martyrs in bed
Cheerful poems
Cheerful poems — a collection of the best works on PoemShip.
Twosome
one ache two aches
two great beauties
had the pox
had one another
going out
going all about
Consumer affairs
my love is thin
but full of variety
o divert us at the office
my eyes bad in bed
Mandatory fun
must I drink coffee
if I hate to speak
like a dry ground and the streets
full of wine
Rowdy
Friday bar ilk
on the highway
high din
Influencer
in summer’s mad wisdom
setting sail is better
than a bad birth
and see how this road
takes notice of you
a Zen merchant singing
for the company
The next supper
wake us to ourselves o cook
my belly is a church
bell ringing to eat
by Jesus our supper
Leaves of gas
in bull weather
we are mistaken for horses
deep as drunken scholars
in the grass
enough for all
the conversation that lives
Earworm
morning star
a bird whistle
I shall have in my ear
all day
Good morning
morning and I believe I may be
going to sea in a tub
going to see
a king be a king
or at least
singing in the garden
longing to see my wife
Brain washing
on washing day
I overhear a woman
talk of it costing nothing
to try on different minds
at which all
the company laughed
but I was troubled and bought
a couple of lobsters
Devotee
a head full of desire
is holy with play
my eyes want to go out
and my doubt mutinies
amen said
I own the treasury
