The Deep Poem
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
To be deep
Is not always
Discouraged
Nor beaten with
Blasting harsh word.
Nor thumb smacked
With errant steel hammer
So dead down, deluded, absurd.
Take a look at the
Day’s balanced journey
First the night
When the threatenings creep.
Then the sun with
Its warmth and good humour.
Get the point?
Now write us some DEEP.
