Long Blighter Poems

He’s just a dog, a mongrel pup that fitted in me hand,
short haired, tan and white, with needs of high demand,

but now his Mum and Dad...

Ninja Spider

Spying a spider on my wall
your not staying there - no never at all
with rolled up paper intent to squish
I tip toe over quietly shoosh shoosh shish

Approaching the spider grew it much bigger
I was...

I guess I’m more accustomed to the modern sting these days;
the one that comes by e-mail or the phone.
They might hurt the pocket with the modern scamming ways -
but Mother Nature’s stings bite to the...

Some folks smile when I say I’m a writer
Some smirk, suggesting I should get a job

Fantasy often, and, occasionally macabre.

Some of my poems make your heart throb
They may...

From the sands of Palm Beach
To Uluru and Barrier Reef,
In the large caverns of Jenolan
When I've climbed on down beneath,
You see I always get this feelin'
No matter what I do,
That I'm a flamin' Aussie
I feel...

"The pen is mightier than the sword"
- In general, I guess that's true
But mine's a lazy blighter;
It treats sloth as a bloody virtue

It's not the liveliest of beasts
It's always at a halt
It likes staring at...

THE SANDS OF TIME





Silent, creepy, mysterious as its tick,


The worthiest choice, if offered a pick,


 


‘Tis often mentioned of many a tricky blighter,


But there’s this one, that we should take none the lighter,

  It fell off just the other day and simply disappeared
  We turned the house upside down everyone was looking
  The cushions of...

I went to the DMV office the other day
For, I received an urgent notice of traffic violation
That came promptly to me as a text message 
For me to take immediate resolution action.

If John (or Jane), a spouse (or bike) can bring butt pain
and some fools in pursuit of mere bliss think both tools.
Most fighters win rounds (one or two). But do they fight to win (for...

I think I have a grem/in, lurking in my words 
I'd left a win/ow open and thought it was the birds
But then I heard a thud and a cry for he/p
Saw the little blighter, the...

 My Garden Colonised 


 In spring, I worked so very hard
To make a garden of my yard
I planted seedlings, but alas
A hoard of pests arrived en masse

From all the pests a plant can host

Me thinks drinking may well be the prime sin.
Givest me that evil every time, lad.
You can boast of other ways now akin,
true, but they don’t makest me half so glad.
I’m glad finding new friends sharing...

King Edward The VIIIth, pitiable blighter, abdicated the throne.
He had the hots for an American divorcee - this the Brits would not condone!
He was King for a spell and the paramours continued their torrid romance.

I may be a terrible writer
Maybe not even a fighter
But I tell you this
That I never miss

I can pull out my gun
Shoot pop cans for fun
I wish you could see
How fun it can be

I keep...

He would arrive on Wednesday...

Ask not the place.
 Electric guitars in time.
 Inherit not rights.
 Greasing heavens door.
 Furthermore my love.
 Set your hair not in a hurry.

 Dawns break in a worry.
