so sure of gait and big hooves
looked for a scapegoat...

and silence is frozen in time....

I watched my TV and I laughed
The boxing was really quite daft
They kept social distance
No punch met resistance
But one caught a cold from the draught...

White fences groan
In fuchsia fingered sighs
Passion sprinting
Along aging sands
Whilst from diamond straightjackets
Black snow descends
To a fine, orange death...

Latching on and letting go,
the maddening draught and the soothing rainfall,
the sunrays and the moonbeams
the river flows forever forward
Be 
carried
with
it....

Flowers are wheat 
Flour is draught 
Unmixed it flies 
Mixed it builds up 
Bread for its eaters 
Two hands divide 
Unity in diversity

There's a hole in my vest
and it's right on my chest
and it lets in a draught when I wear it
it was given to me by my old aunty Bea
so, I'll just learn to grin and to bear it....

The taste of tangerines
coloring open draught
a delectable, yet sensual
snatch of beauty
running in the deep,
chasing timeless renditions
of nature's parade

Beautiful reds and yellows
Staggering flights of leaves
The whistling dry cold draught
Rattles song...brassy sways.
Naked trees
Leafy grounds...
Fallow time for trees
Falls fruits and fruits
At the autumn's breath....

Libations Temptations


O’Leary poured the draught with finesse
O’Brien slid to the floor for some rest
passed out so quick
foam thick on his lip
Ah, the shame of an unfinished Guinness

Lofty was a very large giraffe 
he got ill from standing in a draught,
got a very sore throat 
and sounded like a goat
funny to see a giraffe look daft.

gentle, pleasant
calming, flowing, comforting
air, draught, blizzard, hurricane
raging, hitting, damaging 
blustery, violent

draught of somnolent disdain breath 
in dehydrated well of pain
fortified dam hides tears
wailing rains ruin all
barricades broken in flash flood 
debris of deluge everywhere .

Salafist Tanka  
In Timbuktu 
Tobacco is banned
Hands get cut off 
Of those who smoke cigarettes
Awkward if you roll your own   


Tanka
Knocks on the front door
A draught of cold air got in 
Sleeps between us 
Tomorrow… valentine´s day
Insincere words and flowers....

Twilight, and the Moon-lit waves
Tranquilly crashing upon the shore
A draught of drink is all I crave,
My sordid Past... all I deplore

Do come to me, for I am the Beach,
Please quench your thirst; drink dry my sands
My ambitions seem far out of reach
As I write my life with pain-stricken hands...

Jaded holiday in Frisco ,
Where Paul Getty lost his marbles harbour

For a old dog tawg
Rumble a chick

Banjo medicine and black madness
Eager paws or void in of contempt

I can't roll dice at Coney island
Without a slow snow cone

Program for Rita ford
Or a lengthy draught of carpenter wood...
