Toby Twigg Poems
The Leaves all came together in one place
Each with each and all with all
They said their piece
From early Spring to almost Fall
...
If you have to explain your Poems
Describe your Paintings
Justify the existence of your Sculpture
...
Soon the falling will begin
Sunlight will weave in and out of leaves of trees
Changing the once dull and dusty green
Into complex tapestries
...
As a child I saw the gathering of suits
and dresses of somber smells.
Murmurs and the whispering of flowers
...
Presenting masks wherever we go
Mere representations
That we give the world to see
However: hidden deep down within
...
Gypsy Recital for the Prince ___
(All Hallow's Eve,1843)
Opening her case with the edges frayed
...
Crab Nebula*
* Not an Astronomy Reference… (Unlike the Dust of Galaxies
/ these are just the scattered thoughts, of an old man) .
...
Invitation to Reality ___
Embossed, elegant and proper
With white glove upon silver tray
...
Once upon a long ago
A Slitherwhumping to and fro
I'e clumb the chimmney brim
To find what I'e might know
...
Soldier's On the Wall
Amid the dark of night
When the Cannon cease their raucous noise
...
If you have to explain your Poems
Describe your Paintings
Justify the existence of your Sculpture
Then you have Failed.
...
He hadn't wanted it to end like this
Shuffling, dragging one foot
Elbow pressed to his waist
Holding up his rumpled trousers
...
Opening her case with the edges frayed
Burnished in carved leather dyed black
She laid her strange stringed instrument
Upon its polished rosewood back
...
His lips were pursed
Not for kiss rather curse
Lips pressed closed and held
Lest come forth
...
He was young, small, perhaps malnourished
Looking out from deep set eyes rimmed with neglect
I could see he wanted...
To know why?
...
I remembered the cold watered house
On that bleak Wintered street
With the stale musty stink
Of unwashed sock and sheet
...
Once we were as two strings on the instrument of Life's vibration
Each different in composition and position
Resonating one to the other in sympathetic harmonics
...
Dressed in the rags of time and places
He signifies in loud incoherent phrases
With bluff and blunder
Talks a storm
...
When was the last time a paper-kite
Found you at the end of a ball of string?
How long has it been since a Mulberry Tree
...
In dreams as in waking I am nearly naked
Seeing and seen by people I do not know
Though streets seem familiar of places been
I am and have always been alone
...
The Best Poem Of Toby Twigg
Revenge Of The, 'leaves Of Autumn'.
The Leaves all came together in one place
Each with each and all with all
They said their piece
From early Spring to almost Fall
They listened intent to understand
What was to become of the rest of Man
After assimilation of the great debate
A conclusion was decided on their fate
After man had 'Raked, pillaged & burned their kin
Destroying memories of those within
The great leaves of trees would finally take revenge
'Let us no longer give clean air for them to breathe
No longer give them the beauty of our Majesty
Never again provide shade for them from the Sun
Let them burn as our Fathers, had been done
From that day forward until the end
The trees and leaves held their breath
Until all the ‘Rakers had died
The most boring of deaths
... and for any that may come long after,
That sound you hear
Of breeze in the trees
It is only the leaves in their laughter.
