Prayerful HoodLike Merlin, we graze
At thoughts limitless,
Benign souls scribbling,
Keyboards inspired,
Or so it seems,
Faith doubts and believes,
Love's days dreaming,
Stars, the moon, our muse,
Makes our happy hearts,
Okay poets!...

Trixie My Muse Keeps Me on the Edge of my Seather thoughts are mighty and marvelously influential to me.
I call her Trixie, my muse, she is truly the ultimate queen bee.
She won’t leave me alone, she’s like a dog with a hankering for duck.
How do you write so often? Other writers ask. Is it some kind of luck?
It is my muse, she is persnickety, tenacious...

Curly haired girlShe loves to twirl and jump
expressing without a care
This is a girl that has big curly hair
her eyes filled with life, makes me want to hug her with all my might.
She can’t sit still, always has something to do
Using her imagination, how I wish I could look inside too.
She’s grown...

MuseHis voice was near, his hands were far
Porcelain and coated in paint
I was revered, my skin unmarked
By the artist disguised as the saint
But the muse knows not, how one perceives
She exists in and of the mind
No more than a thought, no need to deceive
She herself might as well be...

My Muse Trixie is one of a Kindideas don’t have time to percolate
Trixie yells them at me, this is my fate
Some of them are lame, not witty or great
Fearing Trixie’s wrath, I do not hesitate
As muses rank, she is truly first rate
her fantastic ideas we do not debate
she can create a poem from an apple crate
play dough, umbrellas, or a rusty grate
She...

Moment No 1 Point FiveA smile can change everything
And everything has worn the same outfit since Adam and Eve started sewing designer fig leaves
Which leads me to the conclusion…No, you’re not my person but for 3 seconds it felt a 10-year anniversary
A moment framed in my better day’s gallery
Knowing we were both thinking something similar means everything...

The Beat of My HeartWithout a word I slip out of bed
and a thousand conversations
run through my mind
as I walk barefoot across worn carpeting.
Two nights ago, I barely made it home
while driving through a deluge
and water on the roads.
I defied the warnings
and survived
as bolts of lightning laced the sky.
I was the storm.
I was the silence.
Now as the sun pokes...

Exit music for a bad movie
"Exit music for a bad movie"
that shining kingdom
waits and watches
numbed now to nightmares
its falling cuckold leaders
deliver fools gold
hungry homeless open palms receive
broken promises overflowing
forgotten hymns and collection plates
souls are worth blood in buried pain
borders are drawn all are caged
the marriages not made in heaven
shelved for another day
Candide Diderot. ‘25...

Goldfish
"Goldfish"
The left said we weren’t right
we were catscradles
lost and over-stitched in it all
The right said we were goldfish
in an over-crowded drowning bowl
fed on pronouns and dreams of an equal world
poetry skewered our lives
with the beauty of it all
but we were oblivious
to what was really
calling

My Muse Trixie Makes Fun of Memy muse is plotting every inch of my time today
I try to escape but there is actually no way
on writing poetry and fiction, she is hardily keen
I cannot refuse Trixie, for she is insanely mean
no prepositions, she orders me in a stern way
But verbs and adverbs are okay, for they are merry and gay
On a...

Poems and PoetsFor once in my life,
I want to be a poem,
Written with many metaphors,
By a poet with a heart that flows
Flowers of romanticism like the rivers
That roar with devotion deeper than the oceans.
I may never last forever,
Immortalise me in your poem,
I want to smile forever,
I have had oceans of tears
Splashing my heart
And tearing me...
