Tony Dockery Beneath Poems
- 1. Remembering, Times Of Camelot
Across deep waters and unforgiving tides,
Like a limpets refusal to move aside,
Clinging the taffrail of imaginary life,
Inhaling without future, like a stoic waif.
... - 2. What’s This Life All About
Beneath these rain soaked trees I lay,
Creating dreams on hardened clay,
Of days that were, but never again,
Of long forgotten times, and loves forgotten pain.
... - 3. The Streets Of Broken Dreams
Life’s birthday cards of changing numbers,
Simmering oats and frost covered windows.
From soapy-soled sandals and shorts of corduroy,
To hand-me-down jumpers in times when just a boy,
... - 4. Bib ‘n Brace
In bib ‘n brace from Warwick hall,
Just twenty eight would start the call,
With canvas hat they marched in file,
No fear they’ll show beneath broad smile,
... - 5. The Halls Of Valhalla
Sodden fields beneath their feet,
Trodden grass, where these beggars sleep,
Closed are the dreams of unmarked graves,
Where children played their masters games.
