A bug upon a green leaf sat
Cautiously eyeing up a cat
Who, unaware of the bug's intentions

Then leaping up it once more with glee
Until the...

his dream

In his dream he

is with someone else

with a new desire

in a different life

His body has shed

the skin of your memory

in his sleep

outside his sleep

Now the one

dreaming over there

Cosmopolitan suburbs take shape
Form, not far from the metropolis
Streets bustle, enlist design, become cities

Fill up my son 
Call yourself a titan 
And go do some fighting 
Years then passed

Call it a requiem, dirge or elegy,
Lament, funeral song of eulogy,
On failing, dying light and last hurrah,
Maybe the last polite vah vah!

Once, a focal point of a family,
A device that brought it close together,
That not...

*** A DAISY TALE ***

A single, wild, tiny daisy
Less than a thumbnail in size, swaying side to side
In the slight, burning whiffs of a summer’s breeze,
Growing out from next to the house,
From the corner where...

Distressed by Rob Barratt

It's unusually unstable
The oak bookcase is quite depressed
As is the coffee table

A streaming flow of tears or two
Which I placed on the night sky
With the help of my...
