Blotchy Poems

Glimpse Of Laundry Hanging On Balcony

...A scrubbing time's piece
From dark cloth and pillow hugs,
Well manners bleached on
Smudge, gone moments by light that
A blotchy face remembers.

Cry of the Red-wattled Lapwing

...
It’s not sweet as the Asian koel’s song. 
The red-wattled lapwing voices its irrecoverable loss. 
The bird’s sorrow scalds the night.

It was brooding in the serene scrape nest. 
The black blo...

Ash

...Outside the window sprawled an ash
with splayed and scalloped leaves in pose. 

Each veined and blotchy web was stuck
to misted panes as swirling winds repelled
the rush of rust across the open ...

Anxious Prone

...Crawling on my floor. 
I stare hazily at the intricacies of the wood grain and realize slowly all the messes in my way. 

Curl up, holding myself, prepare yourself darling life is a beautiful maze...

Fear

...Fear

From out of the dark daddy was there, 

with a blotchy red face and messy bed hair.

Checking me out, my fingers my toes, 

from the bottom of my feet to my ears and my nose. 

In a n...

...When I look into the mirror
And stare at my own reflection
I feel like a stranger sneering at me.
I see the patch of dark around my eyes,
With blotchy skin and wrinkles on my face.

They are red and raw, no big surprise
If there is one thing I can never forgive
It is myself, for having never lived.

Peeled Skin Poem

...UV rays soak into my skin,
                          browning it slightly
                                              over the course of an afternoon,
            like a french fry.

Premium MemberToilet Politics

...Oh Lord please help, we’re in a fix.
Our planet now suffers from toilet politics.
From the back-yard brew to the new killer bees.
6 feet, a cough and the dreaded sneeze.

How will this end, I do...

where Cookie and Piggy were our favourite puppe...

...Screaming red, green with blotchy blue,
What it says I have not a clue,
Imagination! call it art,
If you have some then get a start!
Is it woman with child in arm?
Or some cattle in country farm...
