My soul itself,was so dejected
All the nights drift into the surreal

A BACKWARD GLANCE
Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,
the...

A quick access to the link

I am far, but just right there

Very near, but miles far away

An awesome chip, which links all trip

My phone, a priceless keep

Whoops a daisy, Auntie Maisie’s lying on the floor

VIGNETTE FORM an example

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

Of the darkling ravens beset upon the plutonian shores,

The song still reverberates
with a clarion call to everyone
love as its predominant cry
embodies the message of being human.

It’s also what the gospel says

Nope reforming hardened criminal donning
scarred face, manacles jailhouse stripe, et cetera
nor taming screwish incorrigible guttersnipe

on the wind
a bell tolls
memories surface
words unerased-
the image fades

with a tremor of light-
daybreak tinges
the nigrescent sky grey-
the horizon appears
distinct in my mind's eye

the waning sun
warms my face
shalom cloaks
the wells within

hanging from the trees
winter fog welcomes...

Figuratively Speaking... a compendium

Twelve dozen on toast

It’s not the end of...
