Keith Elliott Poems

It is in 70% of our UK homes
It appears in every court in every town
You sometimes see it above a posh shop
It has no word in English below or atop
...

For some scientists think you should not be there
For in the universe you are a freak
Yet you appear every day and every week
You revolve around us awaiting the night you seek
...

She delighted in the warm sun, the breeze
Blowing gently between her golden locks and curl
Her wide blue eyes beckoned broadly
Beaming the innocence of a ten year old girl
...

I went to an all- boys Grammar School
Modelled, no doubt, on a watered-down version of Eton
You did not get in by your parent's wealth or class
Although you had to sit the eleven plus and pass.
...

It started as a wink
A flirt and a shared link
Too far away too remote
Too distant you did not get my vote
...
