Poems by Ivan Donn Carswell
Growing Apart
... defying all wit to seem not to care or show worry a bit ...
Haircut today
... a wry observation, then Im free to find a mirror, ...
Having each of you as friends
... Aramis, Porthos, Athos and the eclectic Monsieur DArtagnon, ...
Her gentle hands
... in his eyes and awe-filled voice, she died in 41 ...
Hidden dangers
... You know you do, or that you did, although youre no recidivist ...
Hoping With Care
... and just watch their faces, we drink in the transports ...

I cannot let the moment pass
... my hopes are dust in disarray, of dreamlike clouds, of coloured sand, ...
I love you in the morning
... Ill be here just the same - a kettle on the boil, a fire in the hearth ...
I Mark Your Courage
... your flock survives as do your prayers, and will survive ...
If democratically elected
... though they do keep a worthy covenant of care ...
If it ever bloody rains
... from a false belief that rain would fall and give relief, ...
Ill have to change my mind
... a longer oar to keep the calm than takes to make a little war ...
In soothing, sweetened words
... If it was your first it was the very best but be assured, I know I need ...
In these quiet moments
... It is light, the night has passed in fitful sleep ...
