Byron

Paul Eric Howlett
The colours of the sea are green and grey
And purple and the whiteness of the foam
Odysseus hauls out commands while day
And the mast hold, in the final volume
Of Morocco diaries
                      Falmouth Packet

                               *

Horace Hornem In Search Of The Picturesque
                     breakers on the rocks
Flop unemotional blisters; are we
Transparent, too?
                     in a blue mood
Who was the bear at Cambridge?
Farewell the soaking skies of England
A nation of breakfast gloom
                     and dining gloss

                               *

Murray wants a travel serial
Pure pilgrimage, nothing venereal
...
Searching, please wait...
