Best Fortnightly Poems
The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots VSpawned from the loins that
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When warmly embraced by
Every self-serving boast brazenly
Conveyed...
To be exploited, and thus,
Insidiously...

An Integral Part of LifeMan must come to grief, fortnightly intervals of
Ache shall never cease. This world a bulky box which
Parcels items of tears and fears in multitude thereof
And a few parcels of love and joy we all wish.
Old tenant Moses lost his wife and his landlady's daughter
Was...

The Benefits of Being SingleA horrible smell pervades the air,
It really is quite freaky,
It's time for my monthly underwear change,
Perhaps I should change it to weekly.
Or is weekly too much, I think it might be,
Perhaps I should do it fortnightly,
Because using those chemicals that might harm the earth
Isn't something...

Library GirlLibrary Girl
She worked in the local library part time.
And liked to read Harry Potter books.
She liked a lad who popped in fortnightly.
He was quiet just like her.
Her eyes sought him out whenever he was there.
A shyness inhibited her asking...

November Frozen Fish Find- fishing finds
I’m foolishly fishing in the frost
freshwater follows fondly
foreign fishing forgets funnily
finest fishing feels furiously
fair fishing falls freely
fresh fishing flies fabulously
Yet it’s so cold
In mid-November
funny fishing fails fortnightly
fat fishing finishes fatly
fast fishing flows frozen forcefully
full fishing fills finally
fine fishing finds foolishly far

A Fur StoleA fur Stole
The big dog that was run down on the main road,
five month ago and thrown into the grass verge, is
still there only now it looks like a dusty stole flung
out of a passing Rolls Royce… I wonder if its owner,...

The Moment Within the MoodThe aesthetic of the autocratic effigy of directing the positivity of proclivity in the nature, the stir of it , that grit in your teeth this life gives , that digestive hindsight. Almost lost like the anomaly we all on a paper chase can...

MelodiesI’ve been hearing melodies
You’re always chiming when you lie
And your muffling is on repeat
Repeat, repeat
And when you’re gone I feel redundant
Repeat, repeat.
Entrapping at night
Feeling right
And now you inveigling is on repeat
like the fortnightly purge
I'm dancing because you’re offbeat
Repeat, repeat.
I’ve been hearing melodies
I don’t like your...

Timber Trees They Fall-The feeling followers to feeling;
F ines flourishly fabulously fortnightly funulously,

Failing feels like trees they fall;

A Saturday Morning Suburban LamentOh, from what demented mind was born
A thing so pointless as a lawn?
Surely some old eccentric lord
In a mansion, born both rich and barmy,
Who could so lavishly afford
A mighty artful minion army
Of sowers of seed and pullers of weed
Of mowers of grass and spreaders of...

ANOTHER TIME FROM THE CRUSTANOTHER TIME. FROM THE CRUST
At a time when it crows
I set up to a lain me at thine bowl
Full weight! Full length a naked yoke
There you set my piece at thine brow
There I grew to thankfully crawl
On the night as if sword was drawn
In...

top shop and racismtop shop and racism
It has happened again it appears fortnightly now
a posh shop has been robbed in the purest of daylight
that's about 12.30
all the fur and other expensive stuff were grabbed and
carried out to a waiting car, where passers- see but

I like winter evenings in Portugal
lit wood fire
my wife prepares the evening meal
On my way home one evening
a police officer stopped me
something about my headlight
I thought of offering him a bribe
but had no idea how to go about it
Police officers are...
