Long Put paid Poems

On a couch one more time
Another call that I should make
An irony sublime

We split a few weeks ago
A party I've been having
But She just called me so I'd know
What...

for King Wen, circa 1151-1143 B.C.E. – with seven mind-bending kowtows

Where change wrought no change
In your fate
But for those plagued by your...

RAID ON AIDS

 

Methuselah’s age, wisdom produce

Longevity a dream comes true

Humanity, cuts a perfect picture

A good life, mortals must treasure

Woke up this morning with a head
This is the curse when you try to change the world

I witness the daffodils stand proud and tall
I see warmer weather put paid to them all

The alliums follow,...

The swing of the rod
100 yds plus cast, good stuff
get's you just beyond the breakers
to where the inshore fish feed.

Turn of the tide

where you started at low tide
usually ends-up, as the tide rises

It was a bright cold sunny morning
The mist lifted without warning
As we walked through the cemetery gate
It had been nearly a hundred years wait

Outside of the Ieper Menin Gate
We had come to honour you, mate

You admitted you didn't love me any more
My desire for revenge I would unfetter
When I returned the key to your door

You weren't at home as I’d...

A nightmare
 after something I'd had, 
a cowboy film,
 the late-night news
 and Cervantes at bedtime.

On a spavined jade

with lean shanks
astride gaunt flanks
rides down

Unless you have been very well blessed 
Perfect pert breasts often sag over time
Let me be totally honest with you all
I once...

A Doctor’s surgery in North Adelaide
For an examination for me to make the grade
Perusing my X-rays and medical reports
Sitting with the doctor with his ruling retort

He takes his glasses off and looks at me
So serious...
