Jean McLeod’s most recent poem to appear here was Zealots (January 2013).
Eros
By Jean McLeod
I weary of his soft, strange ways
the considerate lack of fire
and joyless integrity.
Return, my love,
with verve and strength;
to sing songs and tell me lies.
the considerate lack of fire
and joyless integrity.
Return, my love,
with verve and strength;
to sing songs and tell me lies.
Jean,
Beautiful and haunting poem . . .
This is one to ponder.
Thank you so much, Sharon and Jeanette, for your kind words.
