David Green

David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.

Britain Trump
















And there was me thinking I'd packed up writing poems.
Needs must. 



Britain Trump

they call him Britain Trump,
          The President of the United States of America


When one incompetent scoundrel
Endorses another,
Alarms go off, a warning bell
Tells us to take cover.

All afternoon a news blackout
Was imposed where I live.
I dare not look. This lazy lout
That I’ll never forgive

For simply being what he is,
Who said he wasn’t fit
In one of his better speeches,
Is still, somehow, now it.
