David Green

David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I publish booklets of my own poems, or did. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become. It keeps me out of more trouble than it gets me into. I hope you find at least some of it worthwhile.

One of Oscar's

One of Oscar’s

for Gill

A poet can survive everything but a misprint.

A pot man arrives in time for a missed pint.
A pet cat’s nine lives are memories of a paw print.
A pope can arrive any time for an appointment.
Apple pie is sublime any time but at this point.
A prank satisfies many things for a miscreant.
A potter can’t abide such a thing as a missed pink.
A poseur isn’t wise when he sings the descant.
An IP’s advertised everywhere on a mouse mat.
A pilot can drive any kind of air transport.
A play can contrive many things from a mad prince.
A plant can thrive anywhere but a Hotpoint.
Ascot is a nice place for a horse race.
A priest can decide anything in a dispute.
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
