The Poet's Christmas
gems of poems practically no-one gets to read
(myself and, I'll believe, a couple of others don't count)
I wished they could be familiar among us
remembered and valued discussed let alone read
be careful what you wish for you said
(thinking, I believe, of religion)
a lifeless orthodoxy squanders
the spiritual hunger common to all
point taken I feel I should wander home
to last years broken toys

Really, really like it. A 'gem' itself. In full sight of us all.
