john beharry Poems

Deep within the bowels of the earth
a pressure builds up in intensity
As lava and gases increase in growth
bubbling and seething with angry fury
...

Mother Earth spinning on your centre
while revolving around Father Sun
Making day and night on your surface
and the different seasons every one
...

Laid as an egg on a leaf by your mother
you patiently awaited Nature's magic spell
In a few days you became a caterpillar
and then chewed your way out of the shell
...

The wear and tear of my past experience
has ravaged my spirit, body and soul
Now my life is a mere shallow existence
with a deep longing to be made whole
...

5.

Peace!
The hush of night
Fills the land.
Transfixed!

The Best Poem Of john beharry

Volcanic Fury

Deep within the bowels of the earth
a pressure builds up in intensity
As lava and gases increase in growth
bubbling and seething with angry fury

The pressure continues to build up
directly under the earth's crust
Which finally weakens and blows its top
yielding to the pressure's upward thrust

The action produces a huge crater
through which ferocious flames exit
Painting the sky in a red orange colour
in an awesome fiery exhibit

It's a grand display of fireworks power
generated by Mother Nature
Which reaches out both near and far
in testimony of its grandeur

Clouds of ash and smoke rise up to the sky
spreading for miles and miles around
Obscuring vision both far and nigh
before most of the ash falls to the ground

A thick outpouring of red hot lava
scorches everything that lies in its path
Streaming down the sides of the crater
as it moves on with relentless wrath

Volcanic action has an awesome tale to tell
of what goes on under earth's placid shell
It's where red hot lava and gases dwell
which when released create a fiery hell

Beharrie poets and writers?

Interesting to find another Beharrie who is a writer. There was a William Beharrie, Dundee poet, who lived in the 19th century-I have an original book of his poems, written by him-I myself am a writer/poet, as is my son-we are descended from him through my granny Elizabeth Beharrie, who was the poet's grand-daughter.Wonder if you are?
