Long Slalom Poems

Soon, the sun was lying low, a bright full moon was now on show
Santa switched on Walnut’s glow… “Ho Ho Ho and away we go.”
Walnut played along and led the team of reindeer and their...

I notice the single placemat within the circle of noise,
Placing my phone on the cluttered side plate,
I can feel the Christmas spirit resonating through,
The crowd of extended families unwrapping each other’s joy,
A tear drops onto...

Slither, slither, show the way, water moving faster still
Never ever going backwards, only flowing down the hill
Water flowing down a river passing over rocks and earth
Slowly gliding to the ocean from the reservoir of birth
Water’s...

Look at this leaf.

Where did it come from?

Stuck in a mud, like a

discarded grief from a weeping willow.

I like its shape.

Follows my hand. Pair it

in two and you can make a glove

or a puppet doll...

The Seasons

The changing seasons
—winter, spring, summer, and fall—
I love them all.
Variety is said to be the spice of life,
And I enjoy their arrivals and departures,
Each season unique with its own set of characteristics.

Winter presents a...

Inspired by “Poems and Poets” by Anne Winter

“For once in my life,
I want to be a poem” — Anne Winter


If I were a poem
could my poem be a poet?
If such could be done
who besides me...

Drip

Drop

Water drop cascades under sapphire afterglow
Undoing 4 month deprivations

Muffled moans surround crimson fireplace

Crackling of fire
Thrusts of skin
Retinal vibrations shutter her pilot light deep within

She ascended to blue moon heights
As embers of his inferno
Bow in collective...

Restore our good juice bar
That is not so far,
Tax free
Our yellow taxi
And only for me,
Be careful with
Green sponsor Fantomas:

Miss you!

We can play and must
Fast
Be in the cinema
And pass
All their casting

Action and reaction

He was clay potato
in raspberry field
exposed, clumsy
between delicate gossip
     He turned his back

The icy snow sparkles in the midday sun
as we glide down on cardboard toboggans.
Scarves wrapped thrice around our necks,
overcoats buttoned to the top.
We feel no pain as we tumble off,
just laugh, and run for another...

Seahorses on see-saws prance, sashay and dance
   gliding majestically under the sea.
No clip nor clop for this aquatic steed 
   for no legs adorn its knight-in-armour body.
Instead its fins keep these...

A wear down-

singular slalom in the emotional vortex-

the realism of a realm that doesn't adhere to your biology and doesn't accept the facts at hand,

one does not alter it,

unless screaming for more sanity to arrive-

Silver threads slalom down hillsides,
Haunts of larks and Munro baggers.
Merging into burbling brooks,
They slide as one,frothing
Over smooth rocks where sheep daintily step.
Little bursts of thunder
Signify cataracts ahead,
Boiling white water.
Greedily the broad sweep of the river
Embraces...

 Jack And Jill Slalom

Jack and Jill went up the snowy hill
To fetch a ride down the slalom trail
In and out of the turns they met a thrill
Like snow bunnies wagging their tail

With each turn...

i remember now
the sucking whoosh and rattle
of my life
as I was uprooted
still squirming - caught now
in the slalom clutch
of a blood smeared latex glove

a world as cold as a morgue
coagulated around senseless perceptions
a fluent reality...

Destiny’s Choices


Do we choose our destiny
or is fate a foregone conclusion,
an ever growing snow ball
an unstoppable collection
of snow flake moments
gaining momentum
conspiring to bury us?

Can we accept destiny’s fate 
without acquiescing to it?
Rewrite upcoming scenes
with actions...

Winds blow hard freezing water into ice,
the snow on roads and homes declare it's cold.
Our ways and keeps are squeezed as by a vise,
and winter makes us mind as we are told.
Good holidays with pine...

I’m a little firework
Halfway towards the sky
That’s burnt out to dust
Into nothingness
And now I have to die.

I was a crow, flying through a tree
Tried to slalom through the branches.
The thorns clipped my wings
Here the handcuffs...

I awake but was truly dazed.
I'm fumbling now through debris.
As they land now with gentle thuds.
Be it I might have gone deaf I was still unfazed.
This fight might be my last fight I will not...
