('I hate sunsets and flowers. I loathe the sea; the sea is formless.' - WH Auden. <br /> <br />I hate sunsets and flowers; <br />I loathe the rolling sea. <br />What matter sunshine or showers? <br />None of it matters to me. <br /> <br />I loathe the rolling sea, <br />Where once we used to roam. <br />None of it matters to me. <br />No colours, no waves, no foam. <br /> <br />Where once we used to roam <br />It's formless now and bare. <br />No colours, no waves, no foam, <br />Because you are not there. <br /> <br />It's formless now and bare <br />Everywhere I go. <br />Because you are not there <br />Your garden's full of snow. <br /> <br />Everywhere I go, <br />What matter sunshine or showers? <br />Your garden's full of snow. <br />I hate sunsets and flowers.<br /><br />Paul Hansford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunsets-and-flowers-pantoum/
