Sometimes I feel that I am small,

and I don’t matter anymore,

I am so tired I could surely sleep,

for an eternity I would forever weep,

my heart feels heavy, and my mind so dull,

my body aches from a life lived full.

The fight is gone and the flame subdued,

passion’s waned as a life concludes;

once more be young, footloose and free?

I’ve had my day, and it’s not for me.

Hazlehurst

 

 

 

 

 

 

I could never live,

in a red brick house,

with frilly nets,

that pucker and flounce.

 

With rooms so square,

shaped like a box;

oh no! not me,

give me stone and rocks.

 

Victorian aged,

with features so old

flag stone floors,

that strike up the cold.

 

Stone inglenook fires,

glowing embers and coal,

black basalt hearth,

to bear my soles.

 

Mullioned windows,

shutters and sash,

transom light, stained,

carved fine mountain ash.

 

A long sweeping drive,

to a panelled oak door,

proud portico porch,

chequerboard floor.

 

Orchard and lawns,

domed topiary box,

walled kitchen garden,

growing herbs, veg, and stocks.

 

That’s my dream house,

from my sepia past,

how I long to be there,

and remain everlast.

So, some of you may know this, some will not (hey there, we publish poetry!! Send us your poetry!!), but we have now completed the editing process on our new anthology “The Road Less Travelled”, a collection of contemporary poetry by new authors on the subject of the metaphysical side of our experience.

This is a pre-announcement post to say that tonight (it’s 1am over here in the UK) we shall be announcing the release date for this anthology, and we shall most likely be revealing the cover artwork by the very talented A D Warr, who also has a poem in the anthology (Piano).

So, basically, follow us for more information, and to catch the announcement tonight (you know you want to… Poetry!!). We also regularly publish new poetry, so if you are an aspiring poet, send your stuff to us at dagdapublishing@hotmail.co.uk

… Poetry!!
