Farewell Berowne

3 WW
eager frenzy guzzle



in the frenzy of the yuletide season
eager to get away for the hols
one of us slipped away
almost unnoticed on the 26th Dec
at the age of 94
dear berowne,  his humour and challenging quizzes
will be missed at three word wednesday
it is hard to believe he is no longer with us
R.I.P berowne
now i'm going to guzzle down a few cold beers
to celebrate your poetic life and think on
all those shakespeare plays you knew inside out
it's a sad day

Berowne's son , John Savage,  invites anyone who enjoyed his father's work to post thoughts or comments or to email him at the following address.

Winter roses

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

winter roses -
I am tired of reading
between the lines

Fay Aoyagi

the roses shrivel
his frozen words - sang froid
a  mere block of ice

The Joy Of Love Songs

the joy
of driving home at twilight
across the plains
with van morrison

the joy
of the lone  driver
on the highway
as the sun sinks behind the mountains
wishing you were here


the joy
of still being in love
with you

Last Cab To Darwin

Good Holiday Movie



poll is a rough diamond
rex is a loner
broken down and dying 

it takes a journey to darwin
in a cab
in search of a lethal injection
to end it all
for rex to realise
that poll is important to him
that loves counts for something



if you are lucky enough
to have someone who cares about you
you cling on to the bitter end

Arthur

i found arthur
hidden in an old suitcase
for more than thirty years

when i was little
he was taller than me
now he has shrunk

he can now sit
on a chair in my study
permanently

Sorry Arthur  !
