The Poetry Of.
Jan Oskar Hansen...............................................

(Wedding Party)

Sailing down night Seine
Champagne brut and goose liver
The Eiffel Tower
Dressed in bright coloured charms
Looked like a demi monde

When the barge banked
I gave Seine the bird's liver
Peed in the river
Studied the sliver of moon
Dreaming of ice cold lager

Paris' night streets
September mild and at ease
Bars and bistros shut
The worthless slept in doorways
And I thought of Edit Piaf







Five Autumn Haikus

*

Misty night seeps down
Melancholic September
Averse sky pain for the sun



*

Green moss on wet wall
The northwesterly blows rain
Normal October



*

Parasols seek shelter
Courageous are umbrellas
Joust November storms



*

Festive shop windows
Preen and vie for customers
Long after closing time



*

Fire-works on night sky
Cannot vie with shooting stars
Quarter past twelve
