Peter Bowles - d. March 17th 2022

For he is too English, 

12th Baron Bounderdom

in black tie or tweeds

of the ageless gentry, 

played not only for laughs, 

not remotely to be trusted.

William Hurt - d. March 13th 2022

You have given up your body 

to the screen. It swelters 

in a cell, drifts soundlessly 

in flotation tank, falls into frame 

in a suit of menace and lust, 

and everything fades to noir.

R Dean Taylor - d. January 7th 2022

This house is full of ghosts

and the sad songs they write

with talc and adrenalin. 

They still call your name

from Casino, Mecca 

and Twisted Wheel, 

but Lord, we can’t go back there.

Lynda Baron - d. March 2022

Blue is the uniform of the temptress,

too aware of their irresistibility,

slamming the door on old lotharios, 

plotting the downfall of man

from their mystical boudoirs.

Shane Warne - d. March 4th 2022

Two paces in, 

over the wicket,

inscrutable grip, 

pitching in the dirt,

four feet of turn, 

clipping the top

of Gabriel's halo; 

the ineffable

beaten by 

the unplayable.
