Ivor Or Ivor.e Hogg

Reductio Ad Absurdum

It started as a lovers spat
He said this and she said that
Things they did not really mean
and turned into a nasty scene.

Insults were flying thick and fast
Each more cutting than the last
.A sad end to a love affair

Too late to apologise
Although both now realise.
What could have been will never be.

I can.

Inverted hexaduadad.

I can
choose to be a man.
Stand tall upon my own two feet
Or to retreat.
The choice is up to me.
Though not quite free
I can’t refuse
I am compelled to choose.
What shall I do.
I will not change my view
I will be the best man
I can.

Naani for Subarraman N.V.

War will persist
as long as men exist.
Men have the will and skill to kill.
They always had and always will.

Peace apparently
an impossibility.
Men expect hostility
Universally.

Why should this be?
It seems to me
we were meant to live peacefully.
In perfect amity.

YOU experimental form

You
can do
anything.
You
really
want to do.

I
Believe
this is true.
Why
won’t you
even try?

Too
afraid
you will fail.
If
you do
try again.

Hooked.

I’m sure, deprived of poetry
descent into insanity
would follow.Inevitably
It is my prime necessity

Poetry is my drug of choice.
Without it I would have no voice
either to lament or rejoice.

For I depend on poetry
to validate that I am me.

I am addicted hopelessly.

Three Musettes

Payment

Regret.
Perhaps I should
Forget

The pain
of losing you.
No gain.

I lost
now I must bear
the cost..

Riddle

A bird
that has no wings
absurd

Waltz time for MY Lady Irene.

I
Hold you
In my arms.

We
begin
a slow waltz

One
two three
one two three.

I
ask you
to be mine.

You
Agree
Instantly.

Perfection for M Lady Allison

White chrysanthemum.
symbol of purity.
Perfect medium
chosen very carefully
by a man who knows
elegant simplicity.
His selection shows
his perspicacity.
The flower he chose
becomes the epitome
of his skill for all to see.
None can disagree
Artistry and modesty
On display apparently.

Ask yourself

Is it not true? that most men lie
Concealing faults which they possess,
easier to lie than to confess
Although they cannot tell you why
a lie becomes their stock reply.
A measure of their foolishness
Is it not true?

Your truthfulness I won’t deny
but when you look me in the eye
Loudly protesting honesty
you plant the seeds of doubt in me
Is it not true?

Future Imperfect for friend Ben

The world today is in a dreadful mess.
No one accepts responsibility.
It seems that truth and honour matter less
than expedience apparently.
The only thing we value is success
although it’s been achieved dishonestly
The values which our forbears knew are lost
and everyone of us will bear the cost.
