In saucers that fly at fast pace
Weird creatures buzz through outer space   
And since they do roam
Seldom ever back home
Earth Inn is their favorite place...

aisles of antiques
corrugated with named streets -
cups, saucers and book bindings
…stomach’s churning. i’m paying,
booking with dog-eared treasures.

At Nan's.

 The pendulum swings,
Tocks the Grandfather clock,
The needles click, the garment grows
The fire crackles with joy,
So cosy sleeps the child,
Till cups in saucers gangle,
And cake smells waft the air....

Cups and saucers are couples,
Around,
Always together,
Hugging each other,
In a painful pleasure touch,
If one dies other lives a short,hidden,
Some active,
Some inactive,
Some sometimes alone,
The couple a model to make!...

Aqua beads and honey stones
around her wrist of olive tones.
Chestnut hair tied to a shine
a smile warming souls divine.
Child molded to her shoulder
eyes of saucers, wild wonder.
Beaming her own sweet sunshine
mother, daughter, souls entwined....

They're headed our way
In a big mothership
Cigarshaped,
With a band that reads
"Made in Cuba"

Oh, my, inside the saucers wait,
To flurry forth and wipe us out
Or to serve tea in,
We're not sure which,
Either way,
That day will likely be a bit__....

Saucers knitting 
their idioms 
on the rolling hills, 
bumping and bashing 
as they scramble 
to lay their thoughts down well. 
One skittered into a rock, 
     the other tripped, 
crashing down 
   upon his pal 
and both shattered 
      as they hit the ground....

He threw a tantrum 
Flung the cups and saucers 
On the floor 
Kicked the table 
Slammed the door, 
Finally the voice of reason 
Calmed him down,
A spoilt little brat 
With a mischievous frown.

Near a cliff a young woman walks
Eyes like blue saucers
A Svelte figure
We see her in the 
glassy moonlight
The light dances on her hair
Creating a"moonlight shadow"
Under lunar light
so many things can happen
Moonlight is liquid love
In the distance 
A wolf howls
Searching for his mate...

mosquito candles light the table on my porch
they sit alight in their little chrome saucers
each one trembles at an exhale of smoke,
dancing gracefully out of the way

this all seems incredibly natural to me.
I dance the same way when a mother 
with four kids barrels down aisle three
racing to get to the cereal...

Plates and saucers 
quietly in attendance 
behind the cupboard doors
lick their faded flowers
inside borders service nicked
as time ticks 
off the kitchen clock.

Pile smoothed dish towels
lie in neatly folded rows
as a checkered mate
doubles over the ice box
handle with nothing to dry
but a mother’s tears
for days gone by....

Company Cafeteria


People right-handed 
carry their cups
in the right hand.
Left-handed people 
carry their cups
in the hand that befits
left-handed people.
Whichever the hand
all carry their cups
elbows right-angled.
Whichever the hand, 
all cups are at sea, adrift 
on an ocean of saucers.

Cartwheels across our floor
       her artwork covers our fridge
    Naps like an angel, cries like the devil
       explores the world, full of courage
  
    Can I go to school with my friends
       she asks, her eyes two blue saucers
    You'd like that, wouldn't you, I shudder
       ~ to stifle your growth, I mutter...

Everybody thought that the green-looking Martians
were those aliens from Mars navigating in flying saucers...
who made up that silly story? Someone did
see them in a clear vision of a dream, indeed!
And still their existence seems a subtle irony to us!

With flashing lights 
And eerie noises
On many nights 
With astonished poises
People look up and see
A UFO, two or three
An abduction story
In every group
Attracting glory
- a press scoop!
Funny how these frequent visits
Of flying saucers and other spaceships
Only find one place to stay
And that is in the country called the USA...

Tangled vines kept closed the door
that led into the secret garden
the small girl very patiently
one by one untangled them

It took her oh so very long 
until at last they were all free
slowly, and so excitedly she
opened the door and peered

Her eyes wide as saucers
as she beheld the beauty
a stunning garden decked 
with flowers made of jewels

DISHWASHER

I am a dishwasher
White as a clean plate
Made to loosen up the stain and stuck food particles
I am surrounded by soap and water, cups and saucers, pans and pots
Eventually I will wash away all the food and grease
Liken my cousin the washing machine when I'm done the dishes are clean
I am a dishwasher

the red planet a dream of little green men 
landing their saucers in my garden
I was never invited to join the rank of delusion
and if rallied to take a trip I will make sure 
it is a round ticket with my dog in tow
living in a bubble for no reason 
as we can fix our good earth
if we only put our mind to it
and stop the greed of ten or should we make it twelve
and call them the apostles...

they're here!
the saucers I've waited for...
It's hard to believe...
we've waited so long!

with a sense of wonder,
and a sense of joy...
at their arrival....
oh boy!...oh boy!...

yes, this seems to be
a red-letter day..
I'm left with only...
one more thing to say...

when, just when, 
will we wait,
till kittens turn to pups,?
do you think I might expect...
to get the matching cups!...

Pour piping tea
Into imaginary cups
Flying on saucers
Dappling the tablecloth
Which isn’t.
Immerse the tarts
In sweetened dregs
Between spurious conversation
With yourself.
Who else can be trusted
With yesterday’s forecast
Of looming storms
Stalking the week.
Least of all on paper.
Cheers to the hatter
Twice-over the hare
Excellent companions
For a tea-loving fellow.
Indeed.
Indeed.
Indeed....
