The Heron Chase - Anastasius Grün

When spring again encircles the earth in her genial embrace,

There rides from the gates of Bruges a party for the chase;

Full many handsome falconers on shapely coursers ride,

And withal the beautiful duchess by her loving husband’s side.

The Desolate Star - Robin Hyde

Little winds of dawn come gently to them,

All the living stars, the other stars.

My Husband's Tongue is Bitter (Song of Lawino - I) - Okot p' Bitek

Husband, now you despise me

Now you treat me with spite

find say I have inherited the stupidity of my aunt;

Aurora - D.A.M. Binnendijk

The night's metaphorical secret

Imbues me with but not a single rhyme

But it awakens the birds out of their nests

The Alien - Bishnu Dey

On either side the woods, in the middle the road

Gleamingly goes winding as nature beats the tune.

Coarse the rush-mat roof - Tenchi Tenno

Coarse the rush-mat roof

Sheltering the harvest-hut

The Steam King - Edward P. Mead

There is a King, and a ruthless King;

Not a King of the poet’s dream;

But a tyrant fell, white slaves know well,

And that ruthless King is Steam.

The Keening Of The Reed - Qassim Haddad

He put his paw in the lake

like one dipping a quill in a well of words…

He wasn't of reed,

nor has Love a thing to grant:

Among beasts there is no wolf worthy of the loneliness

An Arab Shepherd Is Searching For His Goat On Mount Zion - Yehuda Amichai

An Arab shepherd is searching for his goat on Mount Zion

And on the opposite hill I am searching for my little boy.

Yesterday - Bruce Levitan

These grey skies stretch like dirty washing

Enclosing the trampled ground,

Itself endlessly grey with rubble and detritus.
