Michael Shepherd Poems

Tell you what

I'll pray five times a day
if you love your neighbour as yourself
...

Windows nothing reading
thus goes
pretty letters
human companion

Are we to believe it nothing more
nor less, than threats, in holy or unholy
alliance with blind chance;
...

I wouldn't recommend
adolescence

who knows of all your actions in His name,
be courteous to all Children of the Book; for
Arab, Christian, Jew, this Book's the same:
...

a great title for a rock group but
from this week, fact or at least
truthish. species have been found
to travel many thousands of miles
