(What Man Would Abide It?)
Women throughout centuries – the softer sex.
I picture them subservient since what feels like time primordial!
What man would abide
being sold as if mere chattle and being called another’s property?
What man, with a love of learning or of writing,
would acquiesce...

The First FleetThe First Fleet
by Robert (Bob) Moore
The 26th of January, is called Australia Day
that was when some 10 pound poms, decided they would stay
they had been, for about a week, at a place called Botany Bay
not much there, just sand and rock, and so they sailed...

Asian Epicurean QuestAsian Epicurean Quest
At the heart of China Town, Kuala Lumpur (capital of Malaysia) is Petaling Street.
Domain of hustlers, hucksters, cheap-jacks and diblers; purveyors of street food, rude t-shirts, and rubber sandles to put your feet on;
- genuine imitation Rolex watches and handbags...

That has made all the difference".
The Road Not Taken. Robert Frost

Perhaps it's the best indication that they are alive.
But in their...

Cabin In the Forest
The year was 1680 and I was travelling,
I sat in the carriage looking out the window;
The coachman was driving the horses quickly,
As a storm was approaching us...

Antisocial BehaviourYoung Peter is far from perfect
Teen anger he fails to deflect
His trail of destruction
Has caused such a ruction
You should see the items he’s wrecked
His parents do little to stop him
They’re addicts, and too busy popp’in
Heroin and pills
Which don’t cure their ills
The outlook for Peter is...

Strange New WorldHow things have changed!
The old verities no longer apply
Our world has evolved
and we must adapt
Electricity connects the whole planer
One can get in touch with people in almost all lands
within seconds
The internet reaches around the globe
The "information highway" makes for...

Where Has He GoneWhere has he gone, the one who carried my laughter, gave me countless stories of his pasture, unsuitable for a grazing sheep like me.
Where has he gone, the one who confused hearts with the mastery of his muse, taken by his words of smooth.
Where has...

The Short Way HomeEvading feral branches and pools of stagnant stuff.
I'm taking the short way home ,
Greasy grass and soaking anarchist weeds saturate my feet,
I'm frozen to the bone all to take the short way home.
Through hawthorn...

Currently Under SomethingThere is nothing worse than love except unloved.
It's unclear why I have been moved from desirable to undesirable.
An unaccountable situation not uncommon in the relationship world.
The issue that one has become uncommitted is undeniably
ungracious and unsuitable.
The fact that my possession of an individuals undivided attention...

''Crazy Old Lady''
I wake early- even before the birds,
my nightgown is thread-bare, all a tatter;
when I try to talk, I just lose my words,
my mirror reveals a frumpy oldster.
Oh, that is not me- I am beautiful,
just a silly optical illusion;
this old mirror is quite unsuitable,
a figment...
