Long Kerb Poems

I wondered home one night with the stars, 
With my kingly rugby shirt on encompassing, 
My blue Bec 40 electric wheelchair, no bars, 
Which I was also the king of notwithstanding. 

Irrespective of my supposed...

Look for me in...

Was punched in his face so he was out clean, 
He fell backwards to hit his skull on the kerb, 
Which haemorrhaged his brain to...

Crack fiends roaming the streets on a next level

The rite of passage

		The old green wagon moves a life
		Heads appear like nodding gulls
		Eyes cast down searching cracked flags
		Hopes from people sadly to be missed.
		Un-walked limestone worn and smooth
		Names unknown pronounced with care
		Cats are watching...

About the end of times when
Carts were hauled by Shires,
Coal was king and homes
Were heated by open fires,
A seemingly huge dark figure
From my early childhood days
As he drove his horse and cart
Through the country byways
From...

It felt so good, like we were movie stars 
You were with me, my friends, in my suped-up car

Through the village street at such high-octane speed
Tyres screech, car screams, girls see.

Bump the kerb, skid through...

He was just out riding his chopper,
All of a sudden he came a cropper.
A head on collision with another lad.
His head hit the kerb at a terrific rate
The trauma he had, left him in a...

I see it now and I see it clear. Generations before saw their ways of life disappear. Now it’s us and now it’s here.

Technology does not feel pain or fear.

Where joy was found for hours...

Mosquito menace
Dengue and Zika;
Fever inoculates

Rainy weather
Stay indoors;
Talk to myself

~~~~~~~~~


Dusk dark drowns
Eyes strain to see;
Sudden light blinds

~~~~~~~~~


Sexy brisk walk
Lady of the night;
Stuff of dreams

~~~~~~~~~


By kerb side fringe
Strange gathering;
Motley persuasions

Ancient occupation
Red light district;
Pleasure parade

Exotic night fare
Moonlit sonata;
Rapture...

Trumpeting cauliflowers never blow eggs backwards onto a postal stamp. So never kick a cabbage to a kerb. Oh watch now. All drive safely. Harmonics in a queue are indestructible and indescribable too. Oh counting....

Abrupt change
Wet rain pours;
Misty landscape scene

~~~~~~~~~


Roadside kerb
Walkway water puddles;
Splash of speeding cars

~~~~~~~~~


Wet window panes
A thousand droplets;
Random pattern

Umbrella parade
Wetness everywhere;
Rush for cover

~~~~~~~~~


Jagged lightning
Electric sizzle;
Trees uprooted

~~~~~~~~~


Massive traffic jam
Old giant tree falls;
Two road lanes blocked

~~~~~~~~~


Little people drenched
Colourful raincoats;
Cutesy...

It’s a day off today; what are we supposed to do?
Stand watching the rain pouring down,
forming rivers?
Gutters overflow beside the ragged kerb stones;
shops folornly stand there waiting in futility,
as welcoming as hoodlum grins.
Coughs and sneezes,...

Rubber slips on the road ahead,
It’s a dream I had while asleep in bed.
The sound of those screeching tyres.

Just 17 and ill prepared for such a car. 
Far to fast for my skills, left with...

I am driving my cab on a cold clear night 
Looking for fares without luck tonight

I love the clean air, breathe the clean air, 
I hunt the clean air in the race,
I want that distance between me and the field, 
When they are all up for the chase,

Around the hairpin,...
