Best Production Poems

I am watching liar
Go from tears to grace 
With the same indistinguishable sallow face
And emotional state of fluxed empathy
The frown conceals 
Beneath the brow of dirty tricks 
Without a flicker 
To wake's each day ever slicker
More experienced in the dark arts
His twisted seed imparts 
On...

Bent down blue in prismatic fashion
refracted in reflection mirrored in sight
flames flicker and my mind twirls
round and round with an image seen
dancing with the flight of the flame
absorbed in defiance of the perceived sane

Primitive pictures bringing about motion
fauna at play in the peaceful meadow
the cobalt...

Peanut oil begins from under the soil,
Sunflower oil is distilled by the boil.
We use these to cook,
I thought then I shook.
By gosh! How do they make baby oil?...

The midday sun scorches her back
Sweat seeps through her feeble body
As her nerves carry messages from her brain 
To make her muscles cooperate
So she could stand and move around

Inside her body a helpless guest with very special needs
Hanging head downwards between cliffs of her bone
Shot...

Stage set: Nineteen Seventy-Two

Enter threshold Jolly Jumper bouncing baby girl
   toes grazing the shag

Next scene a little quicker
   Clad in plaid she's a Big Wheels and corduroy blur
   moving the plot along

Intermission (Orange Crush, Pop Rocks and Pixie Sticks)

A Better Production

The year 2018 is coming soon
Three hundred and sixty five days
Opportunity to write a new story
In the black calendar pages

Reviewing the script of ending year
Some chapters are worth of remember
Another days is better to leave behind
Taking away the lessons enclosed 

Looking the horizon...

A Better Production

Broad way’s wayward journey fares well this coming year 

The program a blank sheet but for turning tides to and fro

a logo free to script amend and cherish from the straight

and narrow swishing crested waves yet full of hope and love


Protagonists cascades and...

Time to make that New Year's resolution,
it won't be revolt or revolution,
so while I think out loud
my friends will be so proud...
trying to end my talk convolution!...

I've been sitting on my couch doing nothing
Procrastination has been a practice ever since
2018 is a sought year to make a big thing!
I'll slit laziness and cut it into mince
See myself productive making bunch of achievements
Plenty of time to make good things even better
I'll repair...

Silent nights and sleepy mornings
carry your best through our song
blown soft in the wind of change.
Heart, sweet
giving all in which you breathe
a gracious gift, freely
words of wisdom, encourage
the sombre tones of grey
beheld 
but not desired

Smiling sun,  sleepy still 
behind marshmallow clouds, 
sitting low in...

The growl in my stomach is depressing
It can’t come from hunger, I eat plenty,
Fear of passing gas in public is stressing
I haven’t felt this way since I was twenty.

Gulping prescribed antacids by handfuls
An upper GI revealed an angry stomach.
I’m downing the pink stuff by spoonfuls,
Hoping...

Dams, mining, extraction and fracking!                     
Logging, trawling, oops this urban expansion!

Plastic, toxic sludge and fertilisers,
Industrial revolution, Mass production!
Rising pollution and depleting fossil fuel.
Expanding population, you...

What I never say is  

Should be a question on a game show quiz  

Did I tell you about the time  

Standing in line  

Only to find myself most likely declined  

Since I did not have the right look ...

By the afternoon I was back-on-my-toes. 

Almost every night my roommates and I sit around a low table in the common room of our suite, crossed legged, on cushions and do our homework. It’s less claustrophobic than sitting in our rooms alone and we usually...

I’m chilling and doing homework tonight. Leaning into it.

Last night one of our suitemates (Julia) turned 21 - she’s barable. Not that we get carded anywhere - I’ve never had trouble getting into clubs or ordering drinks - I mean never have I ever.

She had...
