Shadorma Poem

Shadorma

Tiny steps
Ornamental pool
A cool eye
Summer’s day
A long ominous silence
Endless tears.

Melancholy (shadorma)

Homesickness
Twenty years away
I dare not
Travel there
A stranger on foreign shores
Who knows me now?

Sextet

Sad Sextet.
Rainy day
Wet dog on pavement
Looking in
Seeing me
Sit by the cosy fireside
Ignoring its plight.

Family Affairs

Family Affairs

Uxorious
Devotion to wife
Dotingly
Submissive
Sounds like a serious offence
In the dictionary

Roses

Shadorma (roses)

Poor woman
Sell roses in streets
Of Oslo
Law arrives
She has no proper permit
Flowers confiscated.

Shadorma My Lovely

Shadorma about love

My dearest
I do remember
Loving you
Forever
Words were so easy back then
But I spoke the truth

A Shadorma Poem

Sunset. Shadorma

Winter sun
On the coast of death
White coffins
In the bay
Hoisting sail for unknown seas
As darkness descends

Dipterous

Shadorma (Dipterous.)
An insect
Walks on the ceiling
A hideous
Blue bottle
Hope it does not lose its grip
And land in my soup

World News

World News

Obama won the election
With great elation
Yet the headlines in
Norwegian newspapers were
About cheese importation

Capital Punishment

When a state
Kills a convicted murderer
The state
Becomes like the killer
Murdering the defenseless
In the toxic word
Of justice
