Short New Broom Poems

Exchange your old mop for a new broom. 


D word, the dreaded one by far 
Intrinsic feel of loss and gloom 
Vows volunteered at the altar 
Oaths offered betwixt bride and groom… 
Reminiscing on past romance 
Cutting cards for another chance 
Eager kids will brighten your room

The dawn of a New Year
Another time to meet head on,
Is this a good omen or do I fear
Now my youth has long gone,
Ablaze within the power shone.

Yet I see a light bestirring
Amongst the doom and gloom,
Freedom of one’s pen columnist averring
When of weaving the literary loom,
Idealistic sweeps the new broom.

Shiver for Shiva is about.
The made must be undone
the created made to dance
on new flames.

Halloween is due,
all the old souls
will be flying in the night
on new broom sticks.
The days are crushed together,
black-ice has made them
fragile and slippery.

Shiver, for Shiva stamps his foot
on the innocent and the black-hearted
all will be blessed,
for a long winter has come
he will save their eyes
and not allow them to be blinded
by life or death....

It's time to take poetry into the war room,
So the world won't go boom.

Spinning with a new loom,
Could save a  government which is all doom.

If we can we should take poetry into the Board room,
To head off the next crisis that is about to loom.

And while we are at it let's not forget the school room,
Where we can take away some of the gloom.

The kitchen and bathroom,
Could do with a new broom.

And a better view of the moon from the bedroom,
May help Love again to bloom....
