The Leaves, the Books, the Fire

E. G. Stone · Oct 8, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Take the title quite literally, please. It is fall and I am enjoying the season thoroughly. Still perhaps a bit warm for a fire, but I can dream. 🙂 I haven’t got a whole lot to say today, so I shall instead say this: The shadows in one’s mind From hither near to yon Come […]

Alone

E. G. Stone · Feb 28, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Wanderer out alone at night Never touched in mourning light Nor been known by Dawn or Dusk Neither seen by the rest of us Wanderer out beneath the moon Whose soul sings a lonely tune Heart held by walls, locked away Never once invited to stay ~E.G. Stone

Tango

E. G. Stone · Feb 12, 2019 · Leave a Comment

A poem for a Tuesday: The tango of fools Is done on the wire Where one misstep  Might mean certain Death Whereas The tango of the wise Is equally sensual Similarly technical Still beautiful But they practised on The ground

Hurrah for the Weekend

E. G. Stone · Jan 19, 2019 · Leave a Comment

You may sing hey for the bath at the end of the day Like hobbits in books of yore But for me, I’ll celebrate instead The days when the week is no more Hurrah, hooray! It’s Saturday! I’ve done my weekly chore And now my plan is to keep tea at hand And perhaps read […]

E. G. Stone · Jan 3, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Because the Beatles song is too good to not do this… Lament for the Work Week Saturday all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they’re here to stay. Oh, I believe in Saturday. Monday I’m not awake as I should be. There’s a shadow hanging over me. Oh, Monday came […]

Retreat

E. G. Stone · Dec 20, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Arriving in the dark, though the clock says sleep I sit and make sure to pet the cat and dog To eat something and refamiliarise myself With the place left some time ago The place I call home Gone, though by choice, my thoughts linger On how long it will be before I can return […]

Dental

I was told this afternoon That I should change careers And instead of living by the book Turn the world on its ears Join a gang! So I was told I should learn their lingo The anti-language that they speak Interrupt the system’s flow Now why give me the advice This push to be amoral Because, […]

Overstayed Your Welcome

E. G. Stone · Apr 19, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Old Man Winter, my dear good friend You’ve overstayed your welcome I invited you in for a spot of tea Some scones, a nice pint by the fire Yet here you stay, beyond supper, Enjoying my best brandy wine How to hint to you, in no uncertain terms That I have other calls to make, […]
