I write my poems for me, and I can happily say
I’ve already had my joy...

Poems with very little words 
Only serve to minutise my imagination  
Every word has the power to build   
My sweet imagination 
So serve them to me on a blank white sheet

There once was a man with Trumpian crown
so heavy it caused him to frown
when he gave it away
some folks say to this day
it grew lighter while revolving 
more democratically healthy around.

Warm wind on my face; warm water surrounding me.

Off the coast - blue sky above - a ship sets out to sea.

Nothing I have ever done could be as nice as this.

Dance, swim with dolphins, sightsee, shop or laze in bliss!

Ride the wind.

Own your

Plunge!...

(A Memorial Poem)
I long counted Steve Bristow a friend (1) and we'd fly off to lunch
some days (Steve would get 'hours in' he needed for license - small planes).

This is a parody of a poem displayed in my notes.


There she goes, his paramour,
Clad (of course) in silk-du-jour,
Jiggling from head to floor
As though he’d never seen her before!

When he steals another glance,
How drastically she’s changed her stance:
The silk is now remember-ance
As will soon become...

Sixty Years Wed

Sixty years since the magnificent day
In many precious moments along the way
Xanadu in impeccable joy
That no one in the world could ever cloy
You were joined in married bliss to enjoy.

You are together where you both belong
Every day it’s clear your love remains strong
And...
