The Dilettante Diaries: "Dominion"



Something wicked this way comes
Can you not hear it banging on it’s drums?


March on sweet innocent
35 is just a number
take a seat on the bench
catch your breath
you think you know it all
you know nil
you know...

United Nations, United Nations
What an oxymoron!
What an oxymoron!!

The platitude goes-
‘United we stand’
In the UN,
How erect we stand!
How erect we stand!!
We are *****erectus
Aren’t we?

This genocide-friendly unity of nations
With extra-care tending
The weeded garden of poison-trees.
When Hutus and Tutsies blood-bathe
The UN closely observes the situation,
When Israel unchilds,...

“The Burning Bush” 

At the Burning Bush
the dance cards 
were passed 
from palm to palm 
the flowers plucked
from the wall by green
lounge lizards grinning
“music saved my life”, she said
“poetic”, the Comme des Garçons  
like a boy on roller skates said
circling like a shark with...

"50 Words for Poe: Rasputin"



The Rat was buried in the Pet Cemetery
His name was Rasputin

She had been fond of him for some time
feeding him morsels 
every now and again
tickling his whiskers occasionally -
until he decided to look inside 
her lingerie drawer, 
that one drawer 
within...

Like Hannibal we crossed the pass and crossed 
   the Alps (okay, the Brynderwyn Hills) 
and a bridge too far on north-west passage.
   From out of the Valley of Mizpah 
to the fires of perdition at the gates of Sodom

Way back then when I was ten
Oh gosh how easy life was then

No work to do and no bills to pay
It’s a shame aged ten we cannot stay!

We’d climb up trees and skin our knees
Run around the fields in the cooling breeze

I could play safely...

"Crazy in the Time of Covid"



“You’re crazy” he said
“Is that code?” nonchalantly, she replied
“Not when you have your hands tied”, he cried

Cabin Fever had well and truly set in… 

“If you are a good special agent”, she grinned
“I’ll untie your hands, you can do some...

It's another new uncommon day
A day that comes just once in every four yrs
I'm happy I'm alive to see today 
God I'm most grateful
Facebook won't be able to bring up this memory until the next for years 
I won't be able to check the memory...

III.
Enrique believed in the candidate Jones,
who championed causes he favored.
He signed up to help the man’s campaign,
for a new tomorrow he labored.

It was hard work, the calls and the shouts
of the other side, so coldly 'fascist.'
But Enrique kept on pushing, it had to be done,
they’d...

He wrote a big sign pointed to the sky
Aimed at space ships just passing by;
All Alien life forms catered for, it said,
Full English B& B with King Sized Bed.
He didn’t think about it any more
Until the slosh came at his door.
Standing there with a large...

West eats Meat*.


Silently, 
slicing the sky,
a Predator on the prowl.

Searching,
through human eyes,
miles away at HQ.

Picking up the signs
fresh meat on the ground,

scanning heat signatures,
confirmation reaches the bird,

sixteen high-value targets,
on the move,
in the cool desert night.

An order is given,
the Predator banks left,
steadies itself,
while sharpening its claws.

With...
