Long Bluey Poems

I was asked to read some poetry down at an old folks home,
Where they'd lost need for toothbrushes, and naturally a comb,
That is the blokes of course, who are gummy, stooped and bald, 
And closing...

 His dancy browny hair, blue eyes made romantic guy and couraged.

 Eagerly, he rushed his...

The Shark’s name was Bruce
he liked to drive with his head 
hanging out the car 
mouth wrapped around a 
Montecristo Dantes Cuban Cigar

They met in Wichita
Room 101 in the 
Hotel Cicero

The path is narrow 
the roots of the trees 
jut out of the ground 
offering a risk 
of stumbling 
or falling. 

I feel excited 
adventurous 
where does this path lead? 


The sky is bluey purple...

The sky looks like a Turner painting.
At the high point it’s brighter,even golden cream
Like the top of a bottle of Jersey milk;
then it dims down to a bluey gray
with a slight threat in it
like a...

When daffodils brighten my windowsill

And warm Spring rain begins to fill

My outdoor pots and borders wide

My heart cannot help but burst with pride

We have survived Winter's squalls and snow

OLD CHARLIE

Old Charlie
he’s a Cockie from a bygone age,
has not departed 
from his old-time ways,

tonight, with the billy on the boil,
and by the campfire bright; 
with last log from the...

Say queen of hip hop?
The king of orgasmic rock
Who got writer’s block?

LOVE is raw
Really raw
HATE is raw
Really raw
Both with four letters
Bind and break
Through opposing tunnels…

What you love you can hate
What you hate, love
Love is white
Hate is dark,
One letter short
As meaning drifts
Into the gory folds,
The wrinkled face
Of...

Every week day, same time, same bus, he is there, and I’m careful not to stare

clear and peaceful 
the air fell still
the clouds moving in
in the distance
over the hill

the birds stopped singing
the bees disappeared
the traffic slowed 
as the storm brewed near

glistening rain 
trickled from the clouds
heavier and heavier
the drops came...

A disturbance in the sand
betrayed their hide
and when prodded by a rake,
claws shot up
primed to latch onto
a careless finger or toe.

A big "bluey" had a fearsome

rather than let...

They are blue and sometimes...

But your refusal ruins my longing
Queen of the mild -dewed morn
In the apparel of a descending snow
