Poems
by Terry Brinkman
Struck Him Ilk
Struck him Ilk at midnight drinking Gin
Two minutes until a new COVID Cajole
Lives our in peril tonight lost all control
Woman of her creation sat on her skin
Two women in the corner playing Violin
Avoirdupois night patrol
Parched trees dyeing in Berlin
Equid-difference of uneven plot
Sonnet CDIX
After his yawn tear-washed eyes missed aim
Like dry twisted paper into the water ailment
English watering places Silk Petty-coats curtailment
Her voice floating out by moonlight became
Gnawing a crusted knuckle dropping blame
Their mistrust slightly rambunctious impalement
The horse walked behind the eyeless implement
Smoke is the dark poor fellows game
In the air excursion bear feast alarm
Walked in a bee-line eyes looking down the alley
Pity of course public house reclamation arm
Smile of light brightness with Valley
Rhymes and reason sufficient for the Farm
A distant joy to the lost cause rally
Sonnet CDVIII
Sinister smile cash under the bellys aim
The glint of her eye ruby mademoiselle ailment
Bring your Lion to heel red hot curtailment
Old joke the park mercury flower became
Forgotten for the moment whos to blame?
Old burgundy shake of a lambs tail impalement
Lifting right forearm tone of reproach implement
A card falls from her vest when playing the game
Crimson haler around her neck alarm
Shes drunk sobbing behind the alley
Murmurs vaguely inebriated Arm
Stain on her character at the Royal Dublin Farm
Salt of the earth pluckiest ladys rally
Sonnet CDVI
Theirss a medium in the magnifier
Did something happen she did not adopt
Full blown Water-Lily dinking copped
Purely domestic bogus statement required
Having sight of surroundings to change her Tire
Foot path loop railway has flipped flopped
Azul house holds the blind lady who mopped
Bereans and green lawns renewed what was to transpire
Mumbles incoherently loosened his boots affection
Without looking up from his book he answered Page
Indecent flaks uproar and cat calls bisection
Pharaoh Prima facet levity Bear Garden Cage
Especial with atavism lobbers weak unction
Hotly to the popular love-hand fight rampage
Sleepy Whale 280
Old crock Houseboat camping on water
Lock to Lock
Tuff from the midland bogs
Lost cap, stone cutters yard
Passed on the curb-stone old tramp
Dumping dirt and stones, from boots
Ninety nine guilty, only circumstantial
Unwedded garden, gloomy house
Wrongfully condemned, outrage
Curbstone requiems mass funeral
They still love reading about her
