Red Herring
As a young boy
when not very old
I did enjoy
being told
grisly bedtime stories
by my Mother
the favourite was
none other
than
altho' I was just a nipper
Whitechapel Fishmonger Murders
perpetrated by
Jack the Kipper

At The Light
When driving the car
approaching a traffic light
it has often been seen
both day and night
what does green mean
here's the plan
for better or worse
drive as fast as you can
then red and amber
if you will
put the foot down
even faster still
and when it turns red
don't dare to dwell
or stop dead
but go like a bat out of hell

Colours PrimeI live my life through colours prime
through colours, colours, colours prime.
Can change their shades at any time
can change them as I age.
Beginning with the whitest page
the whitest, whitest, whitest page.
My youth was with me at this stage
my youth with colours bright.
The mix back then was blended right
was blended, blended, blended right.
These shades remained within my...

When Yellow Flower Was Dyed Orange Then RedIn this summer month of her what would have been her 21st birthday,
I see bed of withering red orange tiger lilies and say,
"Your death reddened you, yellow flower, into an orange, then red."...

tulipsTulips
The last time we chatted, it was tense
But nothing without you makes sense.
Its been a fall, since you set the standard high.
still remember when we met ,you still make me shy.
Oh my sweet darling you smelled of tulips.
Should I click the send button, tempting
But you seem happy ,not that I’m complaining.
I wont lie no one...

LADY IN REDbeautiful red gushes through the exit
beautiful red drips down your forehead
beautiful red does not love you no more
but beautiful red hugs you for a little while longer
oh lady in red, oh lady in red
why wont you join us in the place we all desire?
dissociate your thoughts till it's no longer there
disintegrate your skin till it...

Nookie Bookie
When business went
from bad to worse
and the Nookie Bookie

with a curse
saw the number of customers'
trousers drop
he took umbrage
at an advertisement in the press
inserted by the local knocking shop
(where pleasure is a business)
which was seen to say...

My Red Rose
A red rose blooms in morning light,
Soft petals kissed by dew so bright.
A whisper of love, a silent flame,
In crimson grace, it speaks your name....

Xi JinpingYou rose to power not by accident,
but through lineage, silence, and strategic brilliance.
A princeling who studied shadows,
You climbed the mountain of the Party with measured breath,
one careful step at a time.
Now, all roads lead to Beijing.
The weight of the world rests on your shoulders.
You are the firstborn of this new age—
and with that birthright comes...
