Short Pocketing Poems

The homeless slept out in the cold
Because all the preachers loved gold
Until they could see
Its better to be
Pocketing large banknotes that fold...

give me pockets
that’s where miscellaneous life goes
I have a nose for the roses
the grass demands my toes
my heart needs pockets
to bring it all home

There is a limpid bird
Shedding a rare feather,
Wilting the loose mind as 
The beak confronts loss.
Yes, I am simply falling
Into old skin and fresh dreams,
Beady eyes pocketing the sky
For a flight of my own, brazen
And loud, unvaned, yet straight,
An arrow of unfailing pose
Aiming for the heart of the flock....

collector of words
The word keeper
Although absurd
A daytime sleeper

Pick pocketing quotes
Reading again and again
On language she dotes
Blank paper and pen

Tuning you out
Without recognition
A jarring shout
When she finds the ignition

No harsh intentions
With all do respect
Too many extensions
For her to neglect

Wheels are spinning
Misplaced the remote
Her heart is grinning
From the lines she wrote...

The sun is hot
Pretty colours on the rise
Horns honking, men whistling
Women parading
Skirts swaying
Side too side.
Children prancing
Smiles all around
Everyone’s having fun
Split, Splash, Rub, Dub
I can see everyone enjoying the sun.
Time ticking
No one’s worrying
Water flowing
Waves intensifying
Pools filling
People diving.
Lifeguard watching
Summer ‘s coming
Flowers blooming
Mothers shopping
Cities populating
Tourist increasing
Money escalating
Politicians pocketing....
