resorts of the mind

...Here at our rooftop, collegiate, ‘resort of the mind,’
an early heatwave has struck - we’ve been advised.

the first time this summer,
when martyrdom got chucked aside for cold comfort.

How heavenly the climate controlled apartment

Pine sap pipe

...In the deep spiked pine forests

On a walk you forgot you took

Snow up your knees

Twenty feet away

An enormous old house

Not abandoned, smoke from the chimney

Large windows, dark woo...

Through Madness and Mayhem

...Through the Madness and Mayhem
“Alice, Alice,” the Mad Hatter said, “come to the table where jesters dance
A tale I'll weave, of merry delight so that you can enjoy, laugh and prance

querulous

...( A university-life vignette)

It’s Saturday morning. Lisa, Leong and I were in the common area, lazing about. “This is what happened to us (Lisa and I) last night.” I said, beginning to e...

Embodying the Light

...Lone 'neath the weeping willow dark, 
The lies we spoke, in whispers sown, 
Scarred the blackened bark,
That all may see and groan. 

Begot in shade the woe and pains, 
That climb and twist thr...

Idly Fret

...I'm sitting with device in hand, 
Trapped in forked thought,
Derailed, enqueued, attention spanned,
All plot but ought for naught. 

Zephyr-jostled oriel,
Jalousie jingle jets,
Venetian pi...

Washing Over Me

...Grief still has a way of washing over me,
Taking me by surprise—
A reminder of a mother’s deep love.
A year since you’ve been gone,
Every single day is hard.
Today was a tender, emotional da...

TURF OUT THE WILDLIFE

...
More rural space becomes an urban scar
As man’s machines arrive and start to scrape
Through living loam down to the dead grey clay.
Hedges ripped out and carted off to tip,
Trashing nests and b...

MY Capt'n

...TIS thine bottled tat's tasked whence be thine edge
Be naught in wallows dew supine vogue cast
Youth triumphed hour as a young promised fledge
Barkeeper, be thoust days numbered--till asked
All s...

Wisdom

...Unto what shall our era be likened?
Are we like unto people of old?
Are we so far removed from the ancient of days
we gain not from the stories they told?

Has the God of our fathers been vanqui...

Song of The Golden Shower No 2: ABBA

...Nature goes on living with the ... neglects,
sprung the lands that I would say, Namaste,
stretched from lands that were Siam to Malay,
Golden Shower Tree spreads out its respects.
Stately enduran...

Our Big Lunch

...God Save the King! So echoed round 
the village halls, the pubs, the streets
the day our Charlie Prince was crowned. 
Homes decked with bunting, cake, and treats.
