My Bothers and Sisters
(Street Kids)

We grow up in public landfills, train stations, 
under the bridges of towns,
victims of all kinds of abuse, but we still had rights…
because of conflicts with our relatives, 
we did not...

Free of dairy, lactose, soy, and gluten.
The consistency of vanilla
creamy and luxurious,
without a speck of iciness,
yet not overly heavy.

The flavor rich
with notable burst of sweet vanilla.

Said comestible insanely versatile

Time Is Never Enough


Sunset must be time
chores may surcease
For the day's grime
to clean or release.

Industry has a knack
to outdo surcease
Workers back to back
daily bask in grease.

Time is not enough!

A contest of word lists - the subject of winter
Make up a good poem - then send to the printer
But nothing says nothing 'bout giving a twist
By splitting and sageing - might get a slapped...

4 adults in a room
discussing something or other
they’ve just met or they’ve known each other for years
either way they have nothing to talk about
one is a lawyer
one is a doctor
one is an analyst
one is a...

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...

We are fast approaching the time when robots 
can do 98% of the work, the middle classes will disappear
altogether; and here is where a universal pay will
kick in someone has to buy what...

A simple sonnet

The tramp, who sits on a low ledge, near the entrance of the 
modest supermarket that sells basic food fruit and vegetable
and to my surprise, has a good selection of wine, is ageless
The...

Sunday makes time
For certain bliss;
Jazz stirs new rhymes,
Plain that and this.


Market trip calls
To stock up food;
Brisk walk finds stalls,
Buy sundry goods.


Fresh meat and fish,
Shrimps and sea catch;
Thoughts of fine dish,
A gourmet match.


I grab foodstuff,
Speed home...

Frogs’ legs 
French cuisine fad
Amphibians hopping mad

 Shish kebabs 
Cubed lamb chislic
Served on toothpick

 Pizzas 
Flatbread Italian feast
Waist measurement increased

 Bird’s nest soup 
Rare Chinese foodstuff
Swiftlets sleeping rough

 Mexican wraps 
Spicy chicken fajitas
Hot as senoritas

There one very peculiar foodstuff
that puts a sour crook in my mouth
It’s that stringy don’t-give-me-any-of,
two thumbs down for the sauerkraut
Just the awful smell of it makes me sick,
has me running out of the house so...

The strongest flour
The oil, the yeast
Combined in love
Before the feast

Salt
From Celtic shores afar
With waters warmed
The ideal spar

For microbes'
Fertive final frenzy
The rising feeds
Much foodstuff envy

More patience 
As to final hours
The mixture blooms
While hope devours

The prospect of
Eternal...

A new society 

Is Brexit more than Brexit
a dream of going back in time
when everything had a human dimension?
To physically eradicate the royalty
to take back thousands of acres stolen
by the aristocracy.
Leaving the cities as a...
