The Poet's Christmas

gems of poems practically no-one gets to read


(myself and, I'll believe, a couple of others don't count)


I wished they could be familiar among us


remembered and valued discussed let alone read


be careful what you wish for you said


(thinking, I believe, of religion)


a lifeless orthodoxy squanders


the spiritual hunger common to all


point taken I feel I should wander home


to last years broken toys

Really, really like it. A 'gem' itself. In full sight of us all.
