I was sitting in their studio with a gal from cable news, taking part in my first and only ever interview,
Fielding friendly questions that pertained to how and why I’d wound up, at the age...

But of...

The winter solstice has passed, so the spring dance can begin at last,
and everyone is invited, from every tree as far as the eye can see.
To each and every flourishing flower, the buzzing bees and...

Today was my dad’s birthday.
I do not hate this day.
He loved this day.
So,I do not hate it?
I put out flags,for him.
I am unsure why my pain levels rise at night.
Torpedo speed.
Bent on destruction.
Is that the...

Asphalt

Cars swerving, horns honking, I’m struggling to cross the road.
I’m not a chicken if that’s what you’re thinking.
But it would be easier to be able to honk my own horn.
Save my life, maybe.

All I see...

Lickety-split, I sit up and look at the clickety clock,

I am going to be so late for dance class,...

I remember living in one room dingy and dire 
with old lino on its rotting wooden floor. 
I remember crystallised spit dangling from guard at the fire; 
as mother cleaned, he'd only honk the more....

Big trucks rolling down the street
With a message that is very deep
Big trucks rolling down the street
Filled with mixed concrete

Big trucks rolling down the street
carrying tons of steels
Stone truck, cement truck, steel truck
And truck whose...

My Friend Jim Bean

The highway signs go by so fast.
The whole damn night had been a blast.
There's a red light chasing behind me
and wouldn't you know it I could barely see.
Driving blind drunk and all...

There once was a fox, as wise as can be,
 He lived in the hollow of an old oak tree.
 Not so very far from an ol’ Farmer’s Farm;
 A farmer he knew would do...

Spring or autumn, leaves bloom or fall,
Everything seemed to offer me immense happiness 
As long as we stayed together.
Harshest of weather, extremes of cold
Still felt quite romantic
Because the warmth from him was better than that...

Time’s up 
mind’s plucked 
watch me cave in 
rhymes suck 
my luck 
hair’s wearing thin 
corrupt 
destruct 
stops me thinking 
clocks stuck 
bell struck 
sound silencing 

Now I told you the minds plucked 
first line...

Long, long ago in a village called Sun
Tales were told and stories were spun,
Near a campfire where sweet meats were cooked
And everyone listened whilst Mr Moon looked.

The Owl and The Pussy Cat the wise man...

 Hopped out early from his bunk bed
 Jumped into his old blue jeans
 Slipped his hand into his pocket
 Found enough change for a drink

 Put his tennie to the kickstand
 Hopped aboard his...

He's older than dirt and should be dead
but yet he keeps walking around filling us with dread
wears the same dark hooded outfit everyday
showing fashion is not quite his forte

I had a cat that marked his territory right
into our TV – fried the whole thing
But I will not graffiti my alleyways with
crude phalli,
Spewing armchair warrior slogans across the concrete

My best friend growing up was...

I remember the moment like yesterday.  I had just turned twenty-two.
When I looked up and saw his...

My world spins round
too fast most times
from Greek deep roots
on Black Sea ports
to cross Jordan's River
on Catherine's Great
trains meet sailboats
greeting sea planes
flying off to sports unknown
throughout my Lake Odessa Highway.

Where Ottomans
blend Spanish matadors,
heroes for my...

Drivel in a puddle
Cried my tears
The bowl is dry

The water is life 
The life is for the all
We can not keep our pigeon read
