Long Hedgehogs Poems

What if I ,
Saw a waist-coated white rabbit,
Pass and disappear down a hole
Would I think I was going quite mad
Or would I want to follow him
As he exclaimed I’m late!  I’m late!
For a very...

As soon as I graduated at 17, life was definitely to be;

At Bainbridge, became a...

These people, they’re not worth much,
They think they are more liquid than water,
They shine before those who envy them,
They wear beautiful expensive watches,
These people think they’re better than God,
Better Than hedgehogs, seagulls, trees,
But they don’t...

Harry the hedgehog was wandering by
Looking for a spot where he could fly,
This is quite serious cause hedgehogs you see
Well, they sort of wobble along just like me.

He wobbled along till he came to the...

(Rewritten excerpts of The Pied Pipers of Hamelin in today's political scenario)

Folks,
They swarmed the nation,
in every location.
They fought like dogs, and slept like logs,
and pricked the other as if hedgehogs.

They were led by some clever...

Out of the burrows and hedges and dreys
Heads came a bobbing in frantic relays.
Rumours were twittered and grunted and squealed:
‘The Harvester’s coming to furrow the field!’
The moles and the voles and the rabbits and hares
All...

The LittLe Flowepot 


A little flower pot all alone,

Looking for a loving home.

Over the years he had grown many flowers,

Inside the window and away from the showers.



Geraniums, chrysanths and many more

Reds, pinks, yellows and blue...

Recalled sounds take you back to an old land
to a home you no longer need.
Like the soft snuffle of hedgehogs on the lawn
on a summer evening.
Here there are larger less harmless spiny beasts,
here there are...

For me there are serious tasks to be done.

The flowers don't know there's a virus,
they sit there and smile at the sun.
They brighten your day in a positive way.
They'll be here when the whole thing is done.

The birds don't know there's a virus,

enter… find nature
Boultham Park hides its wonders
flora and fauna

hedgerows… privet…
hawthorn… laurel.. woodland walks
lake bank side vistas

siskins… goldcrests… gems
sparrowhawks… if your lucky
sneaky brown rats too

floating treasures… ducks
mallard… tufted… goosanders
widgeon… on good days

nuthatches… winter…
feeding stations… eye candy

Autumn’s Song

  Bushy red and grey fluffy tail's scampering through mellow brown fallen leaves, looking for the wind coated nut's fallen from partly bare oak and elm once warm kissed tree's.

Ice cold, bitter in its wake
The last truly cold autumn that touched the world
A precipice of endless promise
For those willing to leap in it

Those words meant nothing, were nothing
Nothing but a flimsy plastic shield
To deflect...

I come home to great works of literature submerged in water
Knee deep

The question is posed to my landlady
Why Jesus?
The books we've lost, included a variety of subject matter

FICKLE FALL

August fades, as September slams it to the ground.
Temperatures drop, Fall, as Summer, fickle weather.
Leaves not ready, still green, looking very sound.

Winds, storm Aileen, laying hedges, not clever!
Rain in torrents, flooding towns, and farmers...

Enough of golden daffodils, romance and paths not taken
Let's lend poetic airing to a subject quite forsaken.
An opportunity's emerged to give a little plug
To that much lambasted creature called the common garden slug.
Though snails have...

JUST THINKING
********************
life... rife...
some strife...
it's reality

not all life is fun
get with reality
heed natures warnings

love thy neighbor
turn the other cheek
let peace prevail

no news today
for my peace of mind
how do others cope

rhetoric... why...
when quietness would suffice

As hedgehogs we don’t get much work and thus get little pay
And that’s a shame because it’s grandma’s ninety eighth today
We can’t afford a birthday cake the shops charge quite a toll
But the baker’s just...
