Drunk At Fourteen
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...

She woke with a gradual start in the muddle of the night,
her large bed seemed so empty that she almost took flight
in search of a new man who might stay right till the end

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...

Its a London Thing
Time is up to the London devil
Crack fiends roaming the streets on a next level

Kilos and ounces sold by forces
Police can't touch anyone there just ing ...

The Rite of Passage
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...

The Coal Man Cometh
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...

To Die For
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...

Answered Prayer
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...

Aha Haiku 20
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...

Cauliflowers Calling Ring Ring Ring
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....

Night Nurse
Her eyes are laden with drunken sleep,
Silhouetted by lank, tired hair flimsier
Than the spine of an elderly, broken night.
Tattered, it buries the horrors of night;
Braided, it creases the rows of black corn,
Sweeping swiftly south...

Ballad
Echoes
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...

A Day Off
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,...

Screeching Tyres
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...

Ghosts of the Tsunami
I am driving my cab on a cold clear night
Looking for fares without luck tonight
Strangely the moon made things seem
As other worldly in its scheme
I saw her walking slowly near the kerb
As I drove...
