Poetry by Christine Kempster

Dragons

Dragons in the deep
never do they sleep
Dragons in the deep
just weep and weep

Dragons on the hill
live with a way and will
always eating their fill
but never paying the bill

Dragons in the garden
always saying pardon
for using complicated jargon
while holding court in the garden

Octopus Arms

he says amorous
I say octopus

he says ten
I say 'since when'

he says kissy kissy
I say in your dreams

he says I love you
I say me too

What's in a hug when
I wish for a kiss
