X-Box?
No, Socks!...

Just which one makes you saddest mate
When you must disappoint a friend
Or when they’ve disappointed you?
I’ve pondered this a lot of late
As more and more friends meet their fate.
I shouldn’t blame them but I do,
Though not one chose to have life end
It’s like I’m stood...

So Disappointing!

If I disappoint you, don't you disappoint too? 
And this even on nights when we both 'whoop-de-doo? ' 
Just like Adam, like Eve, the first verse of a song
Where words say, one ‘came early, ' or one ‘went too long.'

A formidable task now just...

Disappointing Setback


Six long months they worked
sixteen bright and eager minds 
planned our art event.

Artists looked ahead, 
painting, framing their great works
for our yearly show.

Then the day arrived;
charcoal, moisture-laden clouds
shed their dreaded tears.

Bullhorn blared the words
heard with sad and heavy hearts...
"cancel the art show."

Artists packed their...

Here alone, sitting at my desk thinking "why?"
After all the things we went through, yet you still did it
Knowing the pain, anger and disappointment it would bring me
You the last person I thought, who'd do such a thing 
I knew this day would come ...but...

You know I love you
But you’ve made so many mistakes
Broken so many promises
Made me cry so many hours
And I can’t take it anymore
For years I’ve kept this in
Just beneath my skin
Building up the courage
To take you down 
To tell you how you made me feel
But...

At the beginning of this novel I had no idea 
The hero would betray the heroine, 
That is not my favorite plot,
matter of fact, it is now my least favorite.

The cover and the synopsis were fastidiously written.
Neither gave this away. I had no idea it...

Defiant are shards of dirt which particle apart
Never to know their neighbouring flakes,
Not integrating, no squish of accompanyment
Forlorn separates which support not life, nothing


Beneath rangy weeds, breeze blows loose granules
Shifted without resistance, 
foreign adjacent land is theirs temporarily 
Only for necessity, proximity is parallel, merge...

It was a disappointing year for flowers
seeds were planted in the Spring,
I was hoping for lots of colour
assorted lilies, calendulas and everything.

Beetles ate my assorted lilies
caterpillars attacked the apple trees,
my heart was breaking in two
when there was nothing sweet for the bees.

I hope next year...

Used to sell cars, it was a few years back.
I sported a tie, white shirt, and of course dress slacks.
It's good to know what's on the showroom floor.
Answer a customers question wrongly, they'll race to the door.
Knowledge is key, with a ton more of tact.
Lying...

love unrequited
burns like a moth to a flame
alas forgotten...

I come into existence
With memories of you
As I un-exist to become a time of rest
I lapse to forget your warmth too

I favour pleasant midnight
With the sugar-sweet night scent
I’m so unhappy I breathe uneasy 
So I search for a vent

You’re my quest
Immovable love that must be...

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!...

Regard " Those Good Old Days?'
Bring smiles in own ways,
Writing a book, Any Excuse,
Need my GSOH a'loose.
Went to football in past stage, 
Good book, turn each page,
"The umpire's a cheat!"
"Yep, our goals incomplete!"
"Game plan's still the same!"
"Yes, our coach is to blame!"
"Let's go home!" 
"Yeah,...

Cutting the Deck

Star filled sky
Alive, energy, vibrating night
Enriching sound of the waves
Feeling the wind on a voyage to another world
Listening to the hottest DJs spinning
Top dynamics of music
I strolled up to deck for a little dancing
Hoping for a little love
Showing off dexterous, super-spreader swing moves
Picking...
