Long Bogies Poems

a widow's wardrobe of funeral clothes.
It hangs curtained under my eyes, 
the seed inside me grows allowing the little girl I was to die.

Insomniac sleep walking down the streets,...

In a faraway land, as the sky hits the field,
Amidst a land of shades, a country concealed,
Realms of anguish wrapped around the woods,
As the idioms of conflicts to value their goods.

Millie Brown was 12 years old.
Who didn’t like to do as she was told.

As she’d spend all day sat in her gaming chair.

That night, in a strange place
I was like a fly
Circling a street light
Reeling…Reeling!

Into a trap, the water or the woods.

Fundering children,
shouts, screams and nonsense;
Life jumping out, 
assaulting the mundanity;
Grumplebums moaning,

Let them make words up,
create their own language;

This game of golf as is this life, 
Played all life, perfect still can't be, 
Ever reminding of one’s wife, 
Put on pedestal, upon tee, 
Handicaps, roughs, bogies stay rife, 
And played as if on...

See my cool family, Pari or Emily. 
Father is the head of the family 
Mother is the tail of it. Like simile 
They work for one another early
Keeping all things together surely.
All children and grandparents...

I had my covid 19 test today
Twas uncomfy that’s all I will say
Swabbed my throat then my nose
Nose was clean there’s no crows*
I’m happy that it’s out the way

Need another test at the weekend
Then it’s...
