Tony Dockery Open Poems
- 1. Buttercup Daisies
To feel despondent in a chasm of obedience,
One’s thoughts to focus and pain to own,
Escaping tears of a child’s compliance,
Becalmed in deep waters of a place unknown.
... - 2. 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,
... - 3. Times In The Attic Of My Past
I sat beside my wind-up train,
Of red and blue, some tracks remain,
The key now rusted, but yet in place,
I fear to wind it, you know, just in case.
