  • In the Night Garden

    You are sometimes known  As the Oak Moon or the Cold Moon  This is your final visit before you  Fade into deep winter I wrote this poem  In the hour before I retired  Little did I know  That our troublesome cat  Would wake me up  Some hours later  And that I would find myself  Freezing in the Night Garden  […]
