Lee Harwood Poems
- 1. Pagham Harbour Spring
The blur of sky and sea
this white grey morning
before the day burns
moves into blue
... - 2. The Final Painting
The white cloud passed over the land
there is sea always round the land
the sky is blue always above the cloud
the cloud in the blue continues to move
... - 3. The Words
Clouds scattered across the sky &nbs p;all so far away
and then the space between this strange 'distance'
What does 'normal' mean, after all? &nb sp;you move
toward the window & nbsp;lights marking the headland
... - 4. Landscapes
The ridges either side of the valley
were covered in dark pine forest.
The ploughed hill sides were red,
and the pastures were very green.
... - 5. The 'utopia'
The table was filled with many objects
The wild tribesmen in the hills,
whose very robes were decorated with designs
... - 6. The Seaside
(for Peter Ruppell)
You wrote such a love poem that I was
dumb-founded & left to scratch the sand
... - 7. Central Park Zoo
for Marian
Looking at the zoo the great white park
of a misty winter-s afternoon -You-re great!
