Poetry

By Henry Oswald

MONEY

Monographs of the esoteric literature

Of universal genius versatile and virtuosos,

Noisome implications leading to an abyss of misconstrued information-

Empty and dark, impenetrable and unfathomable.

Yardsticks for gifted people are these.

 

TODAY

Time flies like stalwart hawks; I am still in the gloaming labouring,

Often the sun beats down, heat waves radiating, sweat drenching,

Days of lethargy, one-upmanship and enmity,

Atomizing the gusty wind into warm dampy fans.

Yet I must pass this day to live.

 

REMEMBRANCE

Remembrance

Visceral, inexorable,

Reminding, impacting, remitting

The practice of unforgiving.

Soaring, surmounting, living,

Indelible, ambiguous.

Preservation.
