Walnut played along and led the team of reindeer and their...

Stranger, we all dwell in one world, not its portals.
The same original Chaos gave birth to all mortals.

When Sid first met me he laughed 
Sat in his seat of an old Ford 135 
Tractor red rust and wet sticking mud
Swathed in a great green rain coat
A friendly laugh he said
“Bet you wish...

The lady carried the colorful basket-
Laden with beautiful toys,
Sounding high in the air,
Above the basket that she laid on her head.
Throwing words to attract kids
Mostly of that poor class who often gaped at;
She went to...

This change is the only thing that I had no control over
What I discover now is that I never had nor ever will have any control over it
That the stillness was always there
That there was...

Let the beautiful flower blossom in red

Are you really going to tickle a dinosaur foot with a stone feather? or throw beetroots?

The town was all festive the lights all aglow
Decorations were hung as children played in the snow
There stood a large snowman the children had made
Something strange was to happen this very night I’m afraid

They had...

A counsel house 
	
        12.45pm
	Head Office?
	It's in Dover,
	Well that's depressing in itself!
	Smiley faces and OMG's to the fore.
	A clinical appearance in reception,
	Is that depressing in its own way?
	Clinical...

How I miss the sound of the lonely train chucketty chucking along
snaking rails
the eerie hooting of its horn cutting a path through unyielding darkness
that carries one's mind on a mysterious journey to places unknown.

A small pile of bone dry leaves lay
nestled, protected between two roots
It was a sorchingly hot sunny day
all the trees desperately needed rain

The land that had been without water
for so long was parched, all around
saplings...

Sunday after Evensong
We would go for a sherry
Now don't get me wrong
It was just a sherry, nothing more
I'd look at her face
She would look at the floor
We'd talk of the sermon
By old reverand Jones
We'd have...

once …

there - with trunks of monkey’s meth
there grew a breadth of bunky breaths
deplored by dreaded, drunky deaths
to calm their chemic coggers 
the fame of phlegmic foggers

so deep and dark those dribble bibs
didst dig their...

It’s 12 o clock in the night,
Thoughts twirling in my mind.
Found myself rambling on the deck and to my surprise;
Blissful breeze across my face cheering my faith to rise.

Persuading  to stop trying to cling...

I always dwelled on my faults
my shortcomings
never saw the beauty others saw

hidden beneath the insecurity
falter in search of validation 
from the things and people that 
would never mean a thing

trying to hide
until that day it...

When I said it was over
You said hurtful things
You called me out my name
You said you had no feelings for me anyway
And yet you were right there texting me all day, everyday
You probably just said...

Now have had a visit with him again but now sitting on my bed chuckling with happiness
What is the reason he has appeared?
I feel I now...

Limerick based on the quote:

"How much wood, would a woodchuck chuck,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood." 


If a woodchuck could chuck down sand,
would he up-chuck in his right hand?
The sand is too dry,
he’d begin to...

Bronze statues standing tall
Of historical figures one and all
Do they now run and hide
For the rampant crowd be satisfied 

Heroes from old times now past
Thought their fame would last
But times change and we move on
