Analysis of Ten times Ten
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Reached one hundred
Sort of a target
I guess.
Poetry a passion
For decades.
Whether a victory or mess.
Says in a brief space
Arresting.
Says with a choice word
Or phrase.
What had been stewing
Beforehand.
Often inspired.
Give Him praise.
Hundred, a magical number
Hundred, a thimble
Of thought.
And here the Boss
Is yours truly.
Giving what
Goodness has brought.
