The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Ii
Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and

Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily...

Two Strangers
Upon a crowded street in Hiroshima, they met.
From distant shores they came, seeking to get
Some adventure, some beauty, some wonder, some answers.
As they wandered...

Okay What Fiend Stole Thy Body Electric

within rain maker's pool
upon a midnight clear
full moonlight sonata

cleaved fractal structures of silence
reverberating deathly hallow from 'ere

In the Full View of Things
In the full view of things
people will always be harsh
People will always be stuck up
Nobody will ever try to help
Whenever I cry for someone to help
Nobody comes....
Sometimes I think I...

The Cupboard Under the Stairs
If the cupboard under the stairs could talk
I wonder what it would say
Would it tell me of those who hid in it
When there was rent to pay
What about the poor frightened child
Back in nineteen forty...

There was a question I was asked - just the other day
Is the earth flat? - Well what do you think I'd say?

First Flight
First Flight
Cedarwood frame and canvas kite,
Made at home with purpose flight.
Blustery day on pastured ground,
Early reluctance now skyward bound.
The tug is strong and pulling hand,
Resilient aircraft takes command.
My feet have risen from their base,
Clasping tight,...

Crazy Cat-Lady
In Little Whinging, Privet Drive,
around the bend at Number Four
is sighted, strikingly alive,
a tabby cat not seen before.
Her interests vary from her kind’s -
she does not mind the scuttling rat
Behind a battered bin she finds...

the etched patterns of ferns and trees
on my window when I awoke

Once Upon a Countryside
Once were badgers in leafy dale,
once were rabbits and foxes too,
once were pheasants in shining copse where cuckoopint and coltsfoot grew.
Once were songbirds in privet hedges,
once were bluebells for mile upon mile,
once were...

Our Privacy Hedge
Our Privacy Hedge
By Miracle Man
July 31, 2020
Years past due was our Privet Hedge’s trim,
once long ago this hedge always looked prim.
Severe pruning has made survival look slim,
But rain is bringing revival to each bare stem....

Long Way Home
Set on the cracked up streets and roads,
I took the long way home that night
Past the strings of shuttered glass
With steel blinds padlocked good and tight
Beyond the walls of scabbing brick,
I rambled past the church...

Fickle Spring
FICKLE SPRING
~~~~~~~~~~~
The spring, warm, then, cold, sun, snow, rain.
Hazel blooming December time.
All wonder, does spring feel a pain?
Fickle weather, it's inhumane!
Bluebells, flower buds showing early?
The spring, warm, then cold, sun, snow, rain.
Showers? Is spring feeling...

The Blue Ears
(The First Reading of Ma Yan and Picasso)

On the twelfth street. The memory wandering
Between the privet tree in 2001 winter
And the painting in December 20th, 1935

Allure
Fortune, fame, fortitude reign,
But draw not the tame-spirited
From their lofty perch
As distinction never clouds the space
Claimed to trace the paths of attraction!
Calm, drawn subliminally over intervals,
Graced by desire and formed in fascination
Of ponderous depths!
