You were born in the land of Venice
Had lovers aplenty
Now you glide alone
Along the dark canal
A giggling gondola ghost.

The underside of dawn,
a promise ill remembered

Blue Hour turned to black

And like she’s a gal
He’ll grab this canal
Since Trumpenstein wants a wet snatch

The bypass performed,
On the chests of the Egyptians,
Bleeding for miles carrying to sea,

Our old canal is in decay
The water rank and brown
So different from its yesterday
When, with barges plying up and down,
Was the life blood of this market town.

Process With Most Progress

Process With Most Progress

We must be prepared to accept process,
Which will result in the most progress;
A wise old owl
Said root canal;
After you already have had an abscess.

To Love:

to love is to
be vulnerable;
no wonder i am
made of steel

to love is to 
open the
floodgates;
i am a desert
while you are a 
canal

too many metaphors;
not enough confessions

Along the Canal

Along the canal bank I

go, another day wandering

just a quiet stroll. Watching

the Swans as they happily

glide past, wagging tails and

a trail of five signets. This is

my walk of sweet bliss

Love, Like a Tooth Ache.

Acute.
Cloying.
Ulcerated.
Trying.
Enduring.

Pinging.
Aching.
Icarus
Night.


(Perhaps this should be titled something like: "When Love Goes Wrong" or something.  - Inspired by pre-root canal up 
all night pain from a few week's back)

Premium Member Greeting the Tiger Emperor

Frozen tundra has a still water canal.
Parading on it today was the tiger caravan.
The birds were silent as they watched the procession.
Lesser tigers stood guard or in amazement.
Life as we knew it in the frozen north was over.
The tiger emperor had arrived.

Sunday

He reached out and took my hand.
Lingering warmth from the early morning 
Flowed between us,
Bird song piped and twittered,
Gentle spring sunshine
Broke through the chill March wind.
By the edge of the canal
I placed one foot in front of the other
And my heart smiled.

Premium Member A Step Back In Time

in silence
the shire plods his path
in footsteps of the past

Note: On holiday recently,we took a trip by canal barge pulled this way.Very evocative for me, as on my mother's side,her forbears were canal people,and thats how they happened to arrive here in my hometown.

Slip Streams

Avoiding earthquakes
on sidewalks,

hill climbing with blind moles,

trekking between
heaven and hell.

All this
while eating
an ice-cream cone
in a midnight furnace.

Lightly
we walk a tightrope
of visibility,

sliding through
an ever reborn
      birth canal.

Everyone Needs Friends

Without friends
We couldn’t mingle and Blend
There would be no glee 
Between you and me

During the summer 
Wouldn’t you prefer, 
To hang with you pal 
Than have a root canal?

So get-up-and-go
Don’t watch that T.V show 
And let your friends know
That you wanted to say hello

Power of Me

in side 
out side 
there is energy
reflected 

people connected
vibes 
flowing like a canal

power of me \everything i touch 
turned into gold 

everything i seek 
turned in to a hold 

possessions weak theorys 
of common obessions 
drives my motives 
sky high 

power of me!
