She bustles
her boys out of bed
grouse, groan, growl
groggy gripes
snarky snipes, as they squabble
their way to breakfast

Packs their lunch
crunch, smack, munch, they eat
hurry boys-
catch the bus
flurry and fuss all the way
outdoors, scuffing floors

She sighs, so
relieved, can't...

As the year thunders on the autumn days begin to get shorter the nights are early,
My old dog stretches out by a blazing log fire only turning over when he's too hot,
Arthritis is slowing him...

long-haired, short-haired, tabbies, pumas, and mice-hunting snipes.
we knew what we were inheriting when she passed on a rainy day.

Off to the sea in ships we all go,
Untested, but cock sure, as iron to a forge

Deck apes, snipes and gunners are we,
Salt spray, steam and gun smoke to deal

Up early and turning to ‘til...

'Tis fascinating to read epitaphs that upon stones are etched;

Some are rather appealing, some are tragic, others a bit far-fetched!

'Neath this stone lie at peace a husband and his wife
She a Republican-He a Democrat-both now...

Once a marksman was in the woods to hunt
He met a snipe as he was on his way
Snipe said “don’t hunt my kids if you confront 
As they have gone in the forest to play”.

It is time to get fresh America,
to be plucked wriggling out of that shining sea,
a fresh baked humanity, moon-beam buckled.
Pass no more pay-day-loans
into the purses of the pawn-shopping poor,
give no witness nor evidence
of city shame,...

Sheep

next door to 19 chimneys
and 'the dark satanic mills'
a flock of sheep is grazing
oblivious in the hills.



Other Animals

goblin sharks and pangolins
sea pigs, star-nosed moles

mata matas, sugar gliders
shoats and water voles.


aye-ayes, dik-diks, wobbegongs
chicken turtles, loons

shoebills, snipes...

And end to hover 'bove  the wave of life's eternal turning grave
Fragmented intention leads us to powdered evolution

because they’re quiet  and they hide a lot –
a kind of cross ‘twixt stool pigeon and an owl,

London growls under the tread
of diesel driven dreams.

A stork visits,
an attic full of discarded toys.
White mice sleep in pajamas,
made of childish nightmares.

Barges reek still, just as when,
sweat was as common as dirt.

I look up from my specs just out of love.
As she lays food on table and stoops lower
Snipes me from grace of her body thereof.
With eyes on her...

When panthers prowl and lions stalk,
the lone wolves howl and parrots talk.
The bee hives hum and wild boars snort;
the grouses drum; the deer cavort.
And as geese cackle, small hares peek.
They see a jackal, squeal and...

It’s the land of milk and honey,
you fail to see beneath stars and stripes; 
Hard work holds prosperous and free;

The lifestyle seems to come so easy,
lost within stories and stereotypes; 
It’s the land of milk...

Sean and four friends went out one night, 
To the cinema, ‘cos his mate had just passed, 
His driving test, so they hit upon the height, 
Of the speed limit, but the car sadly...
