SIMPLY YEATS

My verse under Yeats’ carved door
he merrily chuckled at white
envelope, sketched butterfly
said he preferred to receive
verses this way rather
than reading them across
post-modern websites


He invited me to tea
we simply savoured small
cheese squares, crumbly
scones watching a squirrel
chomp a cheerful chestnut
lost and found
What word can describe
fleeting images of poets
graduated, yet living on ?


Perhaps vacant
Vacancy who awaits
a word wandering
manifesting like a
lover expecting the
Beloved with a
cherry
