Out of all my poems online, this is the one currently attracting the most hits as a result of referrals from search engines. It was written especially for identical twins.
there'll be two
two moons will manifest, medallions in a purple sky, so while one illuminates
a country lane, the other guides a stray fisherman back to familiar shores.
there’ll be two willows, laughing in the breeze, so while one protects
delicate baby finches, the limbs of the other become climbing ropes.
two flowers will rise, burgeoning with colour, so while one is plucked
to offer some comfort, the other willingly surrenders to bees.
there’ll be two rivers, forging their own paths, so while one might slow
down to broaden and explore, the other gives way to vital rapids.
(This year we became the godparents of the little delights above - Roman and Simon - and this is dedicated to them).
Father Christmas has come to live with us, Accepting an offer of the kids’ old room, Keen to oblige with evening sing-alongs, Satisfy our desire for unashamed humour.
We found the old boy wandering the street, So alone with his tales of good tidings, Competing with all those big neon lights, The families galloping from sale to sale.
Some might think we’ve been horribly rash, But we’re sold on our colourful new lodger, Our home was in such urgent need of glee, After those lengthy states of distraction.
As long as he stays in his red and whites, And doesn’t ever feel the urge to shave, We’re so ready for a non-stop Christmas, A permanent feast of heartening memories.
I write the odd short story, the odd poem, snap the odd photograph, and tickle the odd piece of ebony and ivory.
