Best Sussed Poems

ECHO OF JAN'S POEM
-----------------------------------------

What is this muse Jan writes about,
I have tried to peek in her cupboard
To let it out.
The lock is on, drat what shall I do
Have to find another way, hmmm that’s true

Of course Jan I have it sussed
What a fool I am...

Humans never fail to shock or surprise me
When l think l have them sussed
Human behaviour at its best or worst
Fills me with both joy and disgust

There is so much goodness in this world
Kindness toward our fellow man
Yet ,incredible selfishness and hate
Impossible to comprehend

I do not...

Justice for All

time marches on
reality's fire consumes—
dreams go up in smoke

Dishonest weights, deceptive scales forsake
as chains of injustice rake the flesh
of the preyed-upon bleeding, amid wild
wolves feeding, soft sheep bleating,
protestor's pleading, jurisdictions cheating,
cajoling, wheedling, injustice repeating—
jurisprudence at the confluence
of affluence and influence

~undocumented lies exhumed

“Quick smart struck onion!
You metronomous fishy tail!
You’ll not be taken in by me, 
you fraudulent legume!”

I seemed to have soundly unsettled her
Set her mind cross firing, flailing
But it’s not such a thing to be nettled for
No reason for wail and paling

“Quick, smart, lush young-one!
You’re melodious,...

I'm going to share a story
That happens to be true
Because it's sometimes good to laugh at ourselves,
I think. Don't you? 

It happened in first year high.
It was a funny scene!
I'd like to share this memory.
Yes. I'm spilling the beans...

Our science teacher was telling us
All about...

Bird Brains

Mr Fox wore padded socks to creep up on some chickens
The chickens had CCTV and weren't such easy pickings
He snuck up to the coop and took a peek in through the hatch
The cockerel slammed it shut and put a padlock on the latch
Ignoring Fox...

On his throne he sits
In armour adorn
The father of Semaj
Who one day will be sworn
 
This hunter of demons
Of his people he protects
Generations of allegiance
Infinitive elect
 
All Semaj has learnt
Has been handed down
Through blood lines so strong
One day he'll be crowned
 
Their story goes back
Many,...

It's the people that we meet 
And the memories we make along the way
That makes our lives worth living
Each and every day

If we see a lonely soul
As on our way we go
It doesn't take much effort
For you to say hello

Say to them `have a nice...

Bone Idle Cat
Lazy boy was just that, a bone idle bat. Staying in bed all day sleeping, up all night playing computer games. Not working, never done a day's graft in his life. He's just like his mates. 

No responsibility, no income, taking cash of...

A Couple Of Nags


A couple of fellows who weren't very bright
Got terribly drunk in the pub one night
It gave them a bit of a shock of course
When in a drunk bet... They each won a horse

With just enough money for chips and some haddock
They couldn't...

We all want to be liked
To have people see
The version of ourselves
We choose to be
And say, yeah
That's someone I admire
I aspire to be like
We all want someone
To look back on
The snapshots we've accrued 
Over years of holidays, 
Boozy nights,
And picture perfect food 
And say, look
Here's...

Why is there so much distrust,
Fueling hatred, malice and lust?

We're caught up in every scam's gust
Leaving many financially bust

Including telemarketers' thrusts
Continuously feeding disgust

We're riding social media's cusp
Allowing real friendships to rust

Causing us to constantly adjust
Leaving us completely nonplussed

Making too many tasks a must
Till we nigh...

the footing on the flanks of the Hill of Beans
was worse than he had sussed
that drizzling pale morning
when the Sun was lowest
but beans be damned
and their counters with them
yes I know
a smoky mess
like most of what we see
and witness in the dawn
of the Era of...

Not long ago, my wife did die,
I hoped to also, that’s no lie,

The reason that it did not occur,
Is that I did meet "Her."

In my life, there was no glee,
And I “knew” that there would never be,

“Special Love” happens once in life;
I had spent mine...

It’d been a long day at work
So he sat in the sun
Enjoying the beer he’d earned
The day finally done

Closing his eyes he relaxed
When a persistent peep
Interrupted his dreaming
And he started from sleep

A brown and grey sparrow
Was in a tree nearby
Twittering and fluttering
Darting round in the...
