I Miss My YouthI miss my youth – the way I’d run
or swirl beneath warm summer’s sun.
Oh, dahlia daydreams of romance,
sweet kisses and that first slow dance.
My real life barely had begun!
Adventures I was slow to shun,
A whirligig,...

AI - Amy IngramAmy Ingram, who lives next door,
like nobody, you've met before,
always talks with a whirring sound,
and walks an inch above the ground,
all mechanical that's for sure.
She reopened the hardware store,
mending microwaves and mowers,
AI hope for our...

On Rainy Nights
On rainy nights, in pensive thought,
I claim the respite I have sought
but seldom found on sunny days.
Cool drops soothe more than brightest rays
in times when life's with trouble fraught.
These introspective times have brought
me peace and...

Knocking on DoorsKnocking on doors, people to meet,
house after house, street after street,
keeping going, day after day,
whatever polls or trolls might say,
there's not much time for resting feet.
Car park selfies, the meet and greet,
sharing stickers and printed...

Unreported NewsSongs from a life, sounds like the blues,
microwave fries, pot noodle, stews,
dead on two legs, only half-nine,
saying yes, to the overtime,
this months rent and the kids' new shoes.
Paying forward, paying your dues,
when there isn't much...

WRITTEN IN PSYCHEDELIC INKWRITTEN IN PSYCHEDELIC INK
Wrongly chosen words convey naught
Creating impressions of the wrong sort
Even when inspiring lines deny empathy
Especially showing contempt for simile
Causing bloody battles to be hard fought
It’s errors despite what has been taught

Stelliferous
Stelliferous the stars o’erspread
that lace the heavens overhead
and sparkle plentifully bright
to grace the atramental night
when face of lumined sol has fled.
Sidereals the skies embed
bejeweling where dreamers tread
to render poets’ fancies quite
stelliferous.
With wonderment the welkin’s wed

Ephemera
Ephemera, a short lived life
of cherished times before the strife
meandered into detritus
with depth enough to bury thus
beneath the memories with spite.
Photographs torn up by his wife,
the shreds did cut him like a knife,
and nevermore...

The end of days, when that arrives

Spiralised westerns are not the sameRoll the credits on what's-his-name,
walks like Eastwood, talks just like Wayne,
saddled up on his trusted steed,
pistol packing, sure he'll succeed,
stealing the sunset, final frame.
Red carpet ready, for acclaim,
didn't notice the spotlights change,
when he signed up,...

Eclipse of Sun
Eclipse of Sun is quite a sight
since for a while day looks like night
when moon moves ‘twixt the Earth and Sun
and over light the dark has won
or seemingly in visioned sleight.
That syzygy alignment might

A Call For Peace NowThis is the news, a dream of peace,
an echo from the Middle East,
where children cannot understand,
the broken bones of broken lands,
their only hope, for war to cease.
Every imam, rabbi and priest,
can hear the loss...

The HitchhikerThis highway's mine, goodbye to Jayne,
so long, farewell, Virginia Plain,
strife was yesterday's heavy load,
life is tomorrow's open road,
it's time to hitchhike once again.
Heading where songs, don't sound the same,
and no-one stops to ask your name,
they'll...
