All Bottled Up

Bottlenecks are one thing driving down the road
Making one late for work is another
Cumbersome, slow and an all time low

Containers made from glass have their ups and downs
Mostly downs we’re told

Their poisons kill aristocrats, the poor, poets known and unknown

Highs and lows are...

Artfully arranged articles:
Books beside bedding,
Clocks, camera, china cups clinking,
Dishes, decanters, dining damask,
Electronics
Facing ferns,
Gardening gear.   Gaudy
Handwoven hats hide
Inkstained
Jute.   Junk jewelry,
Kitchenware, kite kits,
Linens laying lopsided.
Marbles, magazines, menswear,
Nice needlework, necklaces,
Ornaments,
Pots, pans, pretty plants put parallel.
Quality quite
Reasonable.   Rickrack, ribbons,
Sewing sack spilling
Thread, thimbles. ...

Colours chatting. Charts cantering. Divine decanters are in no way an explanation in a bowling alley or on a pool table. Snooker a sock. And land in nets. Flashing flesh fishing faint frog eyed frames. Google stared. Fornicating with a fingerless unisex wandering cue. Very...

my friend scrolling
all I'm ever doings searching
upon the nets of mother spider - tis the nature of the beast
with sharper teeth a bigger mouth-without famine is no feast
For I once had known a leper who was eaten by leopard
Now the sheep have taken arms but...

Bereft of the poetry of his soul
The knight took refuge in the house of death
Into darkness he went with his mind crushed
Wandering lust gone and with his own trust.

The enchanter gone
And disenchantment entered
And the land of La Mancha
Slowly turned to dust & cinders.

Talisman of allurements...

"As twilight falls across the glen 

Pinpoints of light rise again

Flashing beacons in the night

More begin to rise a beautiful sight

A symphony of light commences they start to dance

Lifted by silken wings and winds of chance

An ocean of yellow stars twinkling for all to see

Drifting...

Up creaky flight of narrow stairs
Into a room thick with nostalgia

Scent of old wartime forgotten perfumes
Wrought iron bed with heirloom spread

Velvet pillows wtih embroidered Niagara Falls
Yellowed photos of Grandpa standing in garden

Children in pewter frames long grown
Smile from a distant past

Dresser of dark wood with...

Space Overtaken

To many tomatoes fill up my fridge
Grown from the garden, a tasty delish
When seeds were first sown, did a no show
Planted some more, twice many did grow

Offered some out to family and friends
But they had themselves twenty times ten
With seedlings now to many to...

the stern of the junk  

stuck out like the tip of an iceberg

surrounded by plastic bottles

filled baby’s nappies

flip flops and crocs


we can walk on water

whatever floats our boat

sustainable climate change

the hotter the better

while the orchestra

plays water music 

the instruments so swollen

that tunes at supermarkets

sound...

   - World consumption is increasing in line with population growth and 
    prosperity - change light bulbs and there will be light - quote by poet

Wooden floors creak…squeak, squeak, squeak
The languid cat naps on the piano 
Letting tumbleweed run its course
All the day long
No thought enters the desolate attic
Of decanters and hundred-legged pests
Those who dare to eagerly venture
Will follow suit and never return
Names are unspoken 
And pleas die unheard
As cobwebs...

An innocent hand, besides its normal
Duty to touch and, duty to hold
Duty to pinch and land, blows and brutal
Oppression

An innocent lip, besides duty to disguise
Duty to enclose and, duty to house teeth
Duty to rub paints, lick each other’s maws
Oppression

 A free given straw, soda to...
