Kindly stick to digging pineapples in the future as magic dust particles can really only spring up in defense patterns. And is it really wise to deal cards in a high tide. Deliver not an...

This was inspired by Georgette Johnson’s poem “Savouring Another Day”

One cold day whilst I was out in the snow 
I went into a cafe for a Joe
I slipped across floor 
And got an encore
Me and...

I should have washed the dried tears away
My skin is uncomfortable this morning
That can be remedied though
There is a hush and I feel I can hear a far away train
It might be my blood pumping...

two legged human
product of nature..
whether  liked or not 
cant be altered..
gift of life in the heaven on universe
god made everything easy in reserve..

evolved and evolved 
brain grown human,
brought hell on earth
now no pure air,...

Stomach-wrenching body blows dog those 
blighted by endemic fiasco,,
grim dervish whirl of death a maybe one day royal flush,
predicament that hoodoo mark in frozen ink,
cataclysmic episode relentless as unfolding bleak plot, 
monumental exploits somehow never...

Caged magnetic daydreams of lucid migration;

I’ve been there before.  It’s forbidden:

Orchard carved calligraphy crisply cut -
Spiraled surface-scratched immortality 
Dimly azure, aglow on videotape,
Red, blue, green.  Nature’s baby grand.
An organic player-piano ceaseless 
In mellow...

Park run getting into shape

Thank you for the Park run,
They really are so much fun.

At Tring you go up a rise,
Then through a gate,
A little rooty and muddy surprise,
Before the welcome flat that’s great.

Then along...

Behind a frozen glass window I peer,
but not for long despite the pending thunder,
to spur an inner gnawing  gumption,
I turn a chilly doorknob,
with great stealth born of winters  past,
sleet-ridden gusts, swaying tree leafs,
slippy...

Nights of lovin' grew wilder and bolder
Like riding upon a roller coaster 
Till fed up one night, the dear lady said
"Please get a carpet for beneath this bed."

"Oh why's that then pet" her hubby replied

Looking up at the light
As i am now down in the drain
Being cosy and warm
Its not quite the same
 
I'm in a channel floating on my back
Something brown brushed me
" Yuchers " what was that!!
Its...

On our disparitive continuum 
when after dusk the dawn is flowering
and skies aglow in rose chrysanthemum
have scattered banished darkness, cowering;

And when the silver drizzled fingerlings
traipse slippy streaks upon our timid hold
of dimpled melodies the robin...

Five Beginnings
“I don’t know what we’re supposed to do next.”
Loveless, we sat down together to our evening meal.
It wasn’t until I collect by bag at the airport that I realised I didn’t love him anymore.

Let him chew her lips
And rub her 
breasts           
Whole nights
Till his animalistic 
hunger is over 
And feels as a dog 
After feeding on a

A Jolly Fisherman -

a rhyme for children



Jim, a jolly fisherman, 
went up from his boat
and said to boys near him,
"I've just been afloat.

I've brought you some fish
from there in the sea,
and I have here a...

I marvel at the hope found in evolution, 
The message of newness everyday;
The ancestry, use of strength, genetics, 
The honouring of sex and life’s sway. 

The knowledge that behaviour matters, 
What I do daily determines...

Yes, I didn’t come here; I didn’t touch this soft body
I didn’t consume the wine where you were sleepy
It’s a long grassy lawn; splendid roof of the violet sky
Where the bed of roses kissed the...

Dad, how I love to recall
The days when I was very small,
On your lap, ear upon your chest,
Moments like these I loved the best.

Holidays with coastal walks,
Singing songs and having talks.
Shadow puppets on the wall.
Picking...

There is one job I could never do
ever since leaving school this was a no
never felt any real direction at that time
but a fish shop job was never ever so

The smell of fish always put...

Doors slam, windows crack,
letter flap inhales a fatal
wind.
Breastplate rusty dragon bearing scars.
House keys, credit cards, raybans close to hand.
Faux fur on the rack for noble bounty,
footnotes to a chapter without end.
Wistfully I crane my neck...

Walking alone in this world
not knowing right step to take
the surface can be very slippy
indeed you can fall if you brake

We all need a solid foundation
one that is trustful and true
holding you close and real...

I wanna press on
Walkin' this thorny narrow way
I wanna still match forrard
No matter what many say today.

Not by what I am
And neither now this what I say
It's not what I can do
That can save me...

Of course, they did!

Did they go, or did they stay?
Fly a rocket all that way,
To the moon and take a walk,
Or was it lies and lots of talk?
Did they ever leave the ground?
Or stay on...

The days have logged the weeks to months of hurry
Past lingering shadows of fields in sunset fury
Down all the sipping shining moments of remembering
Until the yesterdays are piled too high to sift and sort
Sickle moon...
