So I read biblical scripture,...

What the Butler Heard
Extract from a memoir

Lord Illustrious Penge of Lampwicker Hall,
Welcomed local Toffs, to his Name-Dropper ball.
Noses upturned with a touch of conceit,
Hob-Knobbing with gentry and gentleman elite.
Colonel recalled, his luncheon with Churchill,
Discussing backbenchers...

And doesn’t he look the spit of his Dad
Is he on solids, how long does he sleep
And how many...

The Teddy Bears got up today
All washed and brushed their hair.
They sat around to eat some food
With all their thoughts elsewhere.

A special day ahead was planned 
Involving Lionel’s car.
With hats and coats and picnic made
and...

At the park just down the street.

With cakes and bread and cheese
Water, Coke and Lemonade
And lollies...

“The known always changes; knowing never changes.”
? BY Rupert Spira

A super brown and fluttery bird greets me.
Tap at my window and ask, "Didn't you see?"
It chimes, drawing my insight into a refrain.
My flesh is older,...

Dartmoor in a rainy morning light
On the shoulders a well full pack
Regulation fifty six pounds hanging
On an already near breaking back
Marching on a compass bearing
No deviation allowed
Hour after hour 
Under low hanging cloud

When I looked up at you the other night
I saw you coming through the door
Framing it with your amazing smile
steadfast, self assured, a happy man
A happy Dutch life with Irish sea-kissed roots
Not just a European...

The Teddy Bears marched one and all
Smartly through the Hotel Hall.
With Ted in front Freddy last
They raised a smile from all they passed.

“Look lively now” was Lionel’s cry
And moving quicker they did...

I.
My whole body was trembling in shock
My blood, as if flowing back to my heart, dizzied
My vision as I kept on
In my delirium to aid the young man spitting
up his own organs beside me.

His organs...

I am named after my grandmother.
Christened Sarah Jane, she was known as Jeanie.
That is often the way where I come from,
that deviation from the written proclamation.
The first three of my siblings
were never called by their...

There's a certain path you don't want to follow
For if should choose to dare to go in
You may never come out again

I admire great poets old,
perusing the tragic ends.
Researching their writing styles and patterns
their layouts, rhyming, punctuation, moods,
in dark solitude they penned dreadful words.
Many, end by suicide,
others of drug addiction.
John Berryman threw himself off a bridge,

When I was but a little girl
A treasured book became our pearl
A gift from an English girl next door
For my sister and me, ‘twas much more
The cover tattered, the pages well worn
And when ‘twas lost,...
