I have a lens
Framing segments
Of a world
That moves me
Creating an artificial pause
As if to stop it...

Valued aged portrait
     lies attentive in the mobile:
      yellowed photograph
      rendered memories intact !...

A photographer of Indoor Sports
Found himself dragged through the lower courts
The hotel said
He filmed their bed
When a buxom housemaid dropped her shorts...

Don’t always march
To another’s drumbeat,
Nor always dance
To another person’s tune,
But march in time
To your own heartbeat and
Dance and dance
Till you reach the moon …...

My son Scottie is experimenting with
Time-lapse photography results are he's a whiz
Working out so cool
A flower going by the rules
Opening up in real time like magic it is...

When the light from the setting sun
Makes a shining path on the sea,
Am I the only one who can see it?
Is this path solely meant for me?
Is it a pathway to my dreams?
Do I dare follow it to see?...

The zebra:
An optical illusion
That tricks your sight,
Not colour, not HD ready,
But just in black and white.

An African sales success,
Of great pride it’s the source,
Cleverly marketed as …
A bar-coded horse....

A writer, singer and songwriter,
A crooner, a teller of tales,
A dream maker, a soul shaker and captivator,
Hoping in verse and prose he prevails.

Two hungry little penguins
Both eager for their nosh,
One penguin’s name is Splish,
And the other one’s called Splosh.

Two hungry little penguins
Each holding out their dish,
I wonder what’s for dinner?
Surprise, surprise – it’s fish....

there was a time, before the eye, when 'all-this' (seen) was blank...
nothing...then a spot...a knot...andt, the lens was born....imaging...
close-ups...telescopic vision...photography and medicine....so much
from something so small.....as a spot....

With just a "click" an instant pic:
All experts in photography!
The ubiquity- it makes me sick!
And makes the Art a mockery!

Take paper, pens- excuse to write:
Suddenly, all people are poets!
Even though each line is trite-
In the end, mostly...they blow it!...

Will you follow your dreams
Or will just dreams they remain?
Will you stay an ‘as well as’,
Or make something of your name?

Will you stay tethered to the ground
Or will you learn how to fly?
Will you hide in the dark wood
Or will you soar up to the sky?...

Off with the old
Into the new
Januarys gallant attempt
To startle the Year
Except we’ve been swimming in the rain
Refashioned old shoes with stitches
Missed the right pub
Spoilt for choice
Photography at Blackfriars
Perhaps its muse time
Find my friends keys
he needs a new mojo...

There's no green shoots
to our intended relationship
that's what she said
I felt alone, not so secure
leaving the situ, so assuredly set
had our  meeting as a chat only
I gave my best photography, poetry and music
you were not as deep as you first poundered
although you were a Covid organiser...

Blank presentations of nothing, obviously
A relationship of one, bringing a calming numb
Feelings getting better and better than before
Grab hold of that distant memory, then let go
Forgetfulness seems to be scarce as of late
Seems the memories that cause the most pain
Are the memories that won’t go away...

Politics – too controversial 
  Religion – irreversible

Steamy-hot Romance – too fraught
  Criminality – don’t wanna get caught

Photography – too much fornography
  Alcohol and Drugs – Gulp! My autobiography

What’s left to write about at this late hour
   ~ Blooms and blossoms, fragrance and flowers...

Picture taking quite an art
History has proved that so
Over the years gone by
Telescopic lenses now are all the go
Our world shows many changing shades
Greys are not for the pro
Reds and blues bring more colour
Always be careful nice and slow
Planning ahead gives advantage
Hands on to make great slideshow...

People who are on a mission
Trying to build their reputation 
By shooting photos of stars on vacation,
Or maybe at some exhibition.
On possessing these famous faces
They quickly run to several marketplaces
Hoping to rake in millions of transitioned president faces
Then they lay back feeling like photography aces....
