POEM#36 2002



I never shave on a Sunday
There - that's the first line
Only the rest of the verse to go
And a poem is almost mine
  To Ariadne and Repunzel
  Cleopatra and Marion
  To ev'ry Eurydice looked back for
  I lost and carried on

Thanks for a thread of happiness
In the labyrinth of despair
Thanks for helping me climb
When you let down your hair
  But no matter how much I hunger
  For new love and always thirst
  The angel of Leonard appears again
  Cos Cohen he got there first....



///Once more with feeling for Katka, after seeing unpuplished
pages from LC on the Net. Also from several moments where
I rejoyced at having written something great and then realised
later that the Canadian Poet had beaten me to it, again.
Pure doggerel of course, but it makes me smile.///
