James Hart Poems

First time living in a close
Close closed at one end
That's why it's called a close
...

Twinkle, twinkle
Little star
Now I know
Just where you are
...

There's a nest in a bush in the garden
2 chicks have hatched
Quiet!
Quiet!
...

St. Benedict, I implore you

You left Rome,
Not a home
For the lone
...

The Olympic Torch
Came into town
This afternoon
It was not raining
...

Shepherds know instinctively their own sheep
Birds know instinctively their own nest
Dogs know instinctively their own master
Carers know instinctively their own clients.
...

'Dust thou art and
Unto dust thou shalt return'

No parents
No grandparents
...

There was a young sexagenarian from Kenilworth

Whose virtue was so great it was mega-worth
...

No Queen
To reign supreme(?)
Hurrah! Hurrah!
No King
...

Mother of all living
Caught by God sinning
Childbirth pains ensuing
Cain and Abel soon fighting
...
