Jim the Splitter

© Henry Kendall

The bard who is singing of Wollombi Jim
Is hardly just now in the requisite trim
 To sit on his Pegasus fairly;
Besides, he is bluntly informed by the Muse
That Jim is a subject no singer should choose;
 For Jim is poetical rarely.

Juana

Again I see you, ah my queen,
Of all my old loves that have been,
The first love, and the tenderest;

A ghost is roaming through the building,
And shadows in the attic browse;
Persistently intent on mischief
A goblin roams about the house.

WHEN Jessie comes with her soft breast,

Then is it as if God caress'd

Twin babes that, each to other press'd,
Just feel the Father's arms, wherewith they both are bless'd.

Jonah

A purple whale
Proudly sweeps his tail
Towards Nineveh;
Glassy green
Surges between
A mile of roaring sea.
