Long Childcare Poems

Did I hear that wrong?

On my way for another appointment
with the vampire bleeding Quest,
big stage conversations on the radio
travel way too fast
for me to stay tuned in
to our nesty mess
at my normal liberal-conserving pace.

A FORGOTTEN ANGEL

Who was she?  They wondered
No one knew her name
Where did she live?  They wondered
No one ever saw her playing
How old was she?  They wondered
Did she have any friends?
What happened? ...

We have a choice,
On how many children will turn out,
And by throwing the parents under a bus,
For the Wolves and Jackals to fight over,
The outcome for the children will always be the same.

...This caught her off-guard, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”
He said,“Aren’t you setting yourself up for hurt?
Women with many partners don’t pair-bond well,
there’s quite a low chance your marriage would work.”

Shower about 7.30, 
And breakfast is eaten by 8,
Arrive at the office 8.30,
He’s never been known to be late.
Meetings from 9 to 11,
Quick coffee then start them again,
Quick glance through the window at weather,
It looks...

Morning drizzle
Skyline looks teary;
Jogging feet struggle

~~~~~~~~~


New penthouse suite
By midtown place;
Blessings of peace

~~~~~~~~~


Time moves swiftly
Flying away;
Seize interlude

~~~~~~~~~


Small talk empties
Chit-chat delays;
Time oozes fast

~~~~~~~~~


Two black birds
Morning choral;
Balcony duet

~~~~~~~~~


Tropical heatwave
Humid sticky sweat;
Air-con relief

~~~~~~~~~


Mall sales boomerangs
Petty touting;
Urgent campaign

Toy dog runs...

Late evening flash
Moist breezy glimpse;
Abrupt rain

~~~~~~~~~


Strange journey
Dreamy silhouettes;
Vivid backdrop

~~~~~~~~~


Hazy skyline
Concrete toothpicks;
City skyscrapers 

~~~~~~~~~


By city fringe
Curious onlookers;
Random commotion

~~~~~~~~~


New park bench
Metallic sparkle;
Cold stainless steel

~~~~~~~~~


Childcare centre
Small people congregate;
Life at play

~~~~~~~~~


By this park bench
Two lovers kiss;
Midnight tryst

~~~~~~~~~


Jog and log

Slow morning stroll
Walking meditation;
Beneath heritage fig tree

Miniature dog barks
Squeaky voice tiny;
Big dog curious

Haze free moment;
Somnolent afternoon

Joy unveils
Emotional senses;
Ambrosia peach

Childhood restored;
