Some Kind of Monster

27 May 2006


Was he, some kind of monster
that man she once loved
For where was love now
crying upon a raining day

Alone with memories
children born in older age
Each outcome a reminder
then those are not all sad

The growth spirit, genes to match
and she can never hide a father made
So was he a monster, or did she make
separation and divorce, with tatters inside

Tomorrow being not yesterday
but was love for life
Some kind of monster
and she was once his wife


“We bury with many different emotions. Rarely with intimations of mortality.
‘Buried’ is the ultimate separation of them and us.
As other's lives are often only dreams to us, so also others’ deaths.”
Josephine Hart - “Sin”

Born on 1942 and educated in Mullingar, Ireland, Josephine Hart is an acclaimed author of
several novels, including the bestselling “Damage”, which sold over 1 million copies worldwide
and was made into a movie directed by Louis Malle, starring Jeremy Irons and Juliette
Binoche. Her books “Sin”, “The Stillest Day” and “The Reconstructionist”, being part of her
work that has been translated into twenty-eight languages.

She is married, has two sons, and lives in London.

The one was composed to the set topic of "some kind of monster". There was no rule given, except the words of the topic had to be included in the poem

Thank you for dropping by (the) SEA
