Annual Report
Poems in need of good
homes.
Unplanned but not unloved,
unlikely but not all that
unlikely –
if you’ve been poking your
pen
where it longs to belong.
Guilty.
Pen appendage comes with me
wherever I go so it sees
action.
Offsprung poems need space
where they can be
temperamental
mongrels they are – part
dingo,
part sheepdog, looking for
pages
to call home before sun
burns out.
Uppity bastards have been
known
to change the burning world
before being struck by
trucks.
Allan Lake is a poet, originally from Allover, Canada, who now writes in Allover, Australia. Coincidence. His latest collection, published by Ginninderra Press, "My Photos of Sicily" contains no photos, only poems.
