Long Superglue Poems

but she existed 
long before my life's debut.
Ancient Spirit.......
Old Soul!....Really Old Soul!
The "Great I AM"
knows her as "Tracey, You AM!"
As a young girl she was giving advice
to adults.......
they would listen and...

The Williwonk rose from its hibernating sleep
And jumped up in joy with a sinuous leap.
Time for some mischief, he mischievously said,
I'll shake up Manvile and fill them with dread.

For such a vile creature was the...

He's a fine steed, made of a hard, shiny, dark wood,
his stride caught in a pose of elegance and grace.     
She gave it to me in October 1985.
It was my first...

WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN

Jim’s fallen head over heels for a girl,
He’s forgotten his mates; they’re in limbo
One whiff of her scent, his head’s in a whirl
But why did he choose Sue THAT blonde...

When I am scared and all alone
I close my eyes and think of you
I see your smile and dark brown eyes 
You ease my fears and calm the tides
You oil my parts 
Cause I get...

My mother had a treasured ornament
A big brown shire horse
To the mind of a ten year old 
This was a toy of course .
It was a steed for my action figures
A target for my toy...

My 8 year old Nokia E72 came undone
The screen came loose and had to be glued
I wrapped tape round it to hold it in place
Hoping my glue fix does the job

Someone who knows someone
and someone i used to know
they posted these moving photographs
on some social media interwebs
And i woke from a dream in such a start
to unknowingly know her voice again
its been 11 years and...

Moo

It bounced down my street like a mad thing on heat
Or a kangaroo doing a trick
The farmer that blocked it was knocked off his feet
By his cow on an old pogo stick

So a cow on...

Your Touch Is Like …

… Fire and Ice Combined
Or Feeling Raindrops, for First Time
Or Like, Swaying, Tropic-Jungle-Vines
Blown Gently In The Breeze, Entwined

Or Like, Ivy … Upon A Trellis-Climb
Or Like, Sunflowers, Reaching Sunshine
Or Like, Geniuses, Meeting...

Stumbling through school
a ‘kick me’ sign on her back
toilet paper stuck to her shoe
with superglue
Told to be silent unless spoken to
and never fight back against the
bullies putting bubblegum in her hair
Threatening to beat her 
in...

She’s eighty-nine years of age 
So wise she’s quite a sage
As long as she’s sane
Long may she reign
I do hope she draws a good wage

She married Prince Phillip who’s Greek
His gaffes sometimes make him a...

To my heroes with rainbow eyes,
You brought color back to my world,
You rescued me from my demise.

To my blue haired sprite,
Who took my shattered soul and said,
“It’s cool, I have superglue”,
And made sure I never...

Divorce robbed him of surprise,
left him disused,
parts of his brain tingled less,
he grew blasé, he had to improvise,
extemporize parts
that were less prone to rust and mold.
It seemed he was a bare broom,
one that could no...

Tie Me Down by Rob Barratt

Tie me down, tether me to a pole
Rope together the wings on my soul

Fill my wellies up with rocks
Put big pebbles in my socks

Nail my boots to a railway sleeper

My resentment is like a parasite.
It’s barbed wire hooks have burrowed deeply into my beating heart.Pulsating it’s poison
into my smile
It’s displeasure so nauseating I lay feverishly under my covers
I want to forgive you……….I want to...

Apart from our nice 3 piece suite the cat has clawed and shredded
	 it's knocked over a figurine that lies there prone, beheaded.

Forever and a Day

While the stars give light
And the moon is bright,
My heart will belong to you,
Stuck like superglue.
I'll love you forever and a day,
Until the 32nd of May.

While the sun shines warm
And there's no...

waiting in the silence
for the energy to run aground
yet what flotsam the surf gives up
it will have to keep

Superglue won’t do it, neither will flour paste glue,
PVA is useless, and Araldite is too.

A broken heart cannot be stitched together,
And Gaffer tape doesn’t last forever.

How do you mend a broken heart?

Brownie broke her beak today
Purloining potted prawns
Despite Will’s whistled warning words
To only eat from lawns

But  Brownie boldly battered
that toughened  tin top jar
and broke her lovely beak in bits
she’d pushed her peck too far
