To Ezra Pound	A
	-
With much friendship and admiration and some differences of opinion	B
	-
	-
The Poet took his walking stick	C
Of fine and polished ebony	D
Set in the close grained wood	E
Were quaint devices	F
Patterns in ambers	G
And in the clouded green of jades	H
The top was of smooth yellow ivory	D
And a tassel of tarnished gold	I
Hung by a faded cord from a hole	J
Pierced in the hard wood	E
Circled with silver	K
For years the Poet had wrought upon this cane	L
His wealth had gone to enrich it	M
His experiences to pattern it	M
His labour to fashion and burnish it	M
To him it was perfect	N
A work of art and a weapon	B
A delight and a defence	O
The Poet took his walking stick	C
And walked abroad	P
	-
Peace be with you Brother	K
	-
The Poet came to a meadow	Q
Sifted through the grass were daisies	R
Open mouthed wondering they gazed at the sun	B
The Poet struck them with his cane	L
The little heads flew off and they lay	S
Dying open mouthed and wondering	T
On the hard ground	A
They are useless They are not roses said the Poet	U
	-
Peace be with you Brother Go your ways	V
	-
The Poet came to a stream	W
Purple and blue flags waded in the water	K
In among them hopped the speckled frogs	X
The wind slid through them rustling	T
The Poet lifted his cane	L
And the iris heads fell into the water	K
They floated away torn and drowning	T
Wretched flowers said the Poet	U
They are not roses	Y
	-
Peace be with you Brother It is your affair	Z
	-
The Poet came to a garden	B
Dahlias ripened against a wall	A2
Gillyflowers stood up bravely for all their short stature	K
And a trumpet vine covered an arbour	K
With the red and gold of its blossoms	B2
Red and gold like the brass notes of trumpets	C2
The Poet knocked off the stiff heads of the dahlias	C2
And his cane lopped the gillyflowers at the ground	A
Then he severed the trumpet blossoms from their stems	C2
Red and gold they lay scattered	D2
Red and gold as on a battle field	E2
Red and gold prone and dying	T
They were not roses said the Poet	U
	-
Peace be with you Brother	K
But behind you is destruction and waste places	C2
	-
The Poet came home at evening	T
And in the candle light	F2
He wiped and polished his cane	L
The orange candle flame leaped in the yellow ambers	C2
And made the jades undulate like green pools	C2
It played along the bright ebony	D
And glowed in the top of cream coloured ivory	D
But these things were dead	G2
Only the candle light made them seem to move	H2
It is a pity there were no roses said the Poet	U
	-
Peace be with you Brother You have chosen your part	I2
