Survival Is Not Frivolity
Mere faith in oneself
is not enough to build strength,
confidence makes one thrive;
leave all failures on the shelf!
Fear makes a liar shrive,
he's afraid of a wavelength!
Survival is not frivolity,
rather a required amenity
to instill confidence in us;
take grit and defy doubts!
Plan ahead your long-dreamed journey,
either in outer space or on high seas;
captains are never afraid of

Irksome Frivolity
The awful insignificance of history
is laid bare by the titillating lightness
and frivolous form of our real lives.

Frivolity Finale
Finally leaving the stage after
Twenty seven encore calls
A huge sense of elation as
The last curtain finally falls.
There’s all the media interviews
That she has yet to face
Then perhaps she can retreat
For a while to her private space.
Treated like minor Royalty
When she visited her mum
Back home in Barnsley after
She’d danced the Sugar

Frivolity, Performance
There’s an air of excitement
Amongst most cultured of Spain
Centred around a little hamlet
On the Andalusian Plain.
They are arriving by the plane load,
Helicopter, and even limousine
For the opening performance of
An event never ever before seen.
It’d the Ballerina, late of Barnsley
And her dance partner the Toreador
Who, after months of rehearsal
Are now ready to take the

Frivolity
She wore a singlet and a tutu,
Ballet pumps and slide in hair
And she practiced rigorously
With concentrated care;
But frankly her dancing skill
Was rather one of dross,
Her Dying Swan resembling
More of a drunken Albatross.
Then she met a Bull Fighter
Standing in the Barnsley rain
Cursing under his breath
That ever he left Spain.
Now they thrill discerning
Audiences every single

no-thing need not name the nameless
breaks the morning in disguise
shakes the shame and wakes the shameless
quench tormented turbid eyes
the bootless errand realized
who shakes the hand but shuns the banquet
a polymath of nullity
a picnic spread on follies blanket
the argot of a fervent plea
omnifarious frivolity

Life's Frivolity
Life's Frivolity !!
I have walked the tight rope of chance.
I have trod the razor’s edge of risk.
I have flown through many thoughts of.
I have taken wing passed all that could have been.
I have, with much of life, the world of humanity – seen.
