Best Galvanised Poems

blackbirds in the rain
walking among the fallen leaves
under the old mango tree
with dripping leaves
bathing the grass below
blackbirds diligently lifting 
the rain soaked fallen leaves
peering underneath for insects
and worms
flushed out 
by the drizzling rain
pausing to gulp one down
then scooting off again
searching for more

sitting under the shed
with...

(An Addingham Poem)

Clashes of old tainted galvanised buckets
against the stone flags daily ring out across the manor farm yard,
profanity given proficiently if the swine catches Father off guard.
Lusty teats await emancipation of release ‘Friesians’ frolic in resolution,
‘Pete’ the old boss Bull awaits the dawning the...

In Defence of Donal Trump

He is a crude person, not one I would
like the share a coke with, but he has galvanised
the working class (middle class) which was
shunned under the previous administration.
The class forgotten by other parties have found
a voice someone who talks for them...

Boob jobs and bomb jobs

Sisters in arms those **** and those weapons of massive 
destruction sex and death go together in dynamics
thermodynamics psychodynamics fused on the playground 
of this life of this poem on which I’m allowed to feel strong 
and weak just the same...

"Sitting with Koans" 

Zazen sits zafu'd in the zendo
with the poetic monkey minds
echoing the sound of two hands clapping
producing sound bites bitten like Botticelli reprising
polishing red apples for eating the shining

listen to the sound of one
sea shell borne leonine 
Venus swallowing the ocean
sugar and spice...

There is always a way, the optimist says, 
Yet the creak of life’s tensions groan low,
They shadow the quake that the floor he walks makes,
And the air as it travels says so.
See the mist pale & thick,
It caresses each tip, every leaf, every needle and...

Feel the country feel.. hear the laughter; the sporadic kssh as the ring pulls go,
as beer; ginger and also popcorn flow, hard seats under a half galvanised roof, movies from Hollywood play to an audience of fireflies and ernest working peoples minds, sultry air is...

Winter brims
over bouldered ground
above Rostrevor.
Louring skies meld
blue lough to green forest.
Needling wind keens
through raftered bones,
once homes,
hewn from ancient granite.

Mourne claims her own,
over and over,
defeating generations.
Hasp and staple,
galvanised against the sleekit mist,
defend rude-lintelled doors.

Who comes?
Only ghosts of emigrants,
wraiths of mountainy men
whose quick selves
coaxed poor life
from pale,...

A fine dining experience is simply NOT living within means. How rather tragic then said sparrow.

Catacombs in an x shape are often x rated chambers filled with sleeping custard coloured vermin who prey on youthful walls. Youthful walls are painted in all hues to appease...

Pitter patter on rain polished pavements
Tears straggling down window panes
The rattle of ricocheting  raindrops on galvanised rooftops
Spiralling eddies in bull's eye puddles
Umbrellas ,shields fending off the sharpness
Of blasts of non-stop water bullets
Insidiously a soft drizzle penetrates 
Right through to the skin
Producing shivery limbs
And chattering...

Kenetic examples of wildlife are enjoyed after sipping green teas. But antelope sway at dusk. So be wary of teapots in tree houses. Gooseberries are often found loitering in desert yachts whilst porcupines are oblivious to sugar beet. Many an octopus are said to be...

Chosen notes laid bare at my mercy
               Charmed, turned inside out, tamed 
               Broken by journey, daily...

his life had been exquisite
not a grain of worry in plain sight
when the sinkhole appeared
life was a beach and then he drowned

fully submerged he fell 
into the void of eternal time 
subsidence subsisted into
a labyrinth of subconsciousness

eventually clarity evolved
nightmares became daydreams
eclipses turned into dazzling light
as...
