GRATITUDE competition entry
I’m grateful for the smell of wet leafy mud
When sun warms the graveyard
For the mud I walk above
For the sea’s mercy
When laughter melts misery
For artists who suffered for us
For musicians that warned and warmed and thrilled us
The way trees sway in the wind
When sun warms the graveyard
For the mud I walk above
For the sea’s mercy
When laughter melts misery
For artists who suffered for us
For musicians that warned and warmed and thrilled us
The way trees sway in the wind

The Paisley River - and other poems of 2022
The Paisley River
The sun comes down to dance on the river
Its colours attract a band of nude bathers
Looking to wash the dirt
From their sweating sun-browned bodies
The river doesn’t discriminate
Like the righteous dead
Paisley currents spin and swirl
All the way from the Persian sand
Across the seas to California
They wanted to get closer to the gods
Before the sun falls behind the hills
The Leaves that fall and Grow back again
Do not sink when your sunshine fades
The joy you felt...
The sun comes down to dance on the river
Its colours attract a band of nude bathers
Looking to wash the dirt
From their sweating sun-browned bodies
The river doesn’t discriminate
Like the righteous dead
Paisley currents spin and swirl
All the way from the Persian sand
Across the seas to California
They wanted to get closer to the gods
Before the sun falls behind the hills
The Leaves that fall and Grow back again
Do not sink when your sunshine fades
The joy you felt...
