Long Eagle eyed Poems

when Animal Farm is not a feeding manual

and Clockwork Orange strikes at midnight

Dali’s time piece warps under face value

and an eagle-eyed-cuckoo flies over its nest


beneath the cover of cotton candy clouds

she relieves herself into Magritte’s...

There is an eagle flying
above a pure blue lake,
white head with a brown body,
and long feathers, proud and straight.
On its feet are long talons,
finest yellow you can find,
they’ll strike like a rattlesnake
if you give him...

Sassy sobriquets schooled sissy spindleshanks...
studious sexagenarian skinny scruffy scribe

My utmost humblest apology
for inducing the following
cerebral calisthenics upon your cranium,
but the cost of friendship
with yours truly 
(me – a foo fighting,
eagle eyed, beatle browed, beastie boy...

The window lets in an odd solitary ray of light,
Of timid color, a cusp between twilight and night.
It lands hesitatingly on the golden tip of my pen,
and then blasts into the iris of my eye,...

patented genuine leather gloves 
captivating our boyhood heroes
those same gloves flailing about
towards fly's we were supposed to catch

a glowing white ball with red thread
that begged to be rocketed into orbit
we dreamed of such heroics
pleaded to...

They weave, they weave
They weep and they weave
Smarting under the persecuting whips -
Verbal, literal or carnal whips
They weep, they weep.

Locust-like they swarm the streets
To reach the factories before the sun settles well
In its diurnal rounds.
There...

Mama's favorite girl, being little, does not realise modern dangers...
Left alone, she is wont to be misled , even taken away, by evil strangers..

When your little one is targetted by such devilish people..

birds of a quill, or a feather
flock together at odd times
from all four corners
of thinking creative
to jostle with keyboards,
pens and sharp pencils
fingers fidget, tap-tapping
frantic scribbling down
in notebook's lined pages
screens and keyboards
prepare for posting 
all that...

The Touch Of The Artist

The curtains were drawn aside
I gasped with dropping jaw
Spellbound at the magnificence
Of the shimmery gigantic golden eagle 
Overpowering the stage
With massive open wings 
To fly above the clouds

The auditorium bedazzled
With its...

Exfoliated Eddie is an eagle eyed spy
He likes hot Hoxton coffee with his cold Shepherd’s Pie
Crazy for a Sheffield lass, a Steel City shrew
Her conversation’s retro but her attitude is new.

Flopping like a flapper in...

I guess we can struggle when we sit down to write
But use your own words - to plagiarise isn’t right
When I read a poem that’s simply too good to be true 
I then begin to...

Son, you haven't really experienced life,
(And it will surely make you pine for a wife!),
Until you are thrust into noisy open-bay coops,
With fifty other snorting and snoring troops!

The sergeants demand that things be just right.
Bunks...

Cold howling winds have finally died
And a spring sun’s decided to abide
There’s no sweeter place than countryside
What a wonderful time to send the kids outside

Reclaiming a chunk of ‘me’ time I decide
To tackle that novel...

Our lamb has finally flashed his mane.
Crashing through the Bush
into the Armageddon plane.
Tail twitching slashing fangs.

He's going to liberate a people shrouded in our blood.
Clean up those weapons of mass destruction.
Make an oasis out of...

Long prior - I took to the wheel 
On a day, fairly, surreal
Amid one of my visits back home
I went to see, tailgating, all alone
My boyhood city. A city on its knees  
I began...

Hours upon end
All we have arrived to is less then a final decision
Vengeful misconduct of our nation
Earth Mothers shriek as we rage along the freeways, disregarding ill conversation

Yes, we must have forgotten
Our lovers, friends, brothers,...

(Dedicated to Penny Wilcox)

Nice people, rear to come by without ulterior motive
 Good fellows tend to strain from doing what they do
Because of unpleasant surprises they sometimes get
Bad girls are everywhere pretending to be angels

Eagle, what do you see from the top of the tree?
How wonderful to be able to fly, fly free.
Do you see every mouse as it scampers past?
Can you still catch it when it’s running very...

It was like a fallen phoenix
Fired with rust and memories,
The body was open to the rooks, 
Its ribbed, bare chassis, opened arms,
Unsure whether to defend or
Or make love to the falling sky

The radiator, home to...

Storm in the teacup
Rising smoke, burnt offering, no fire
The one with the touch of gaga,MIDAS
Eagle eyed. Thoughts like air all over
Worrying lost, lost, worry not

Thoughts bound tearing through the circumspect
Bathed shadow brushing...

Life is a giant puzzle; how can one solve it?
I marvel at the universe and its wonder,
For it is pleasing to my eyes as I just sit;
Eagle-eyed, I realized my search was plunder, 
Seeing creation...

"Kiss the Leopards" 

Kiss the leopards
before dying
confiscate their spots
for memories
ever changing 
to place as stars 
stamped across a sky 
of evergreen

where hidden lions smile

writing out their scores
on blank canvas
clean sheets for clouds
waving sober dreams
turning pages...

I stand sentinel in the hot fierce sun. 
Wondering why I’m in this hostile land 
It’s not my style to ever turn and run
Fixed to the spot sweating from gun in hand. 

The training never...
