The lonely witch
Has her switch on
That which is dead...

Knocking hard,

On the cloud doors,

Thunder,

Switch on lightening,

Opened rain!...

A smile's a transformer
  It changes your day
To be-bop and blue skies
  from downcast and gray

So turn off the gloom
  and switch on a grin
A good mood's contagious
  ~ Laughter its twin...

Through a bullet point
A harpoon was sharpened
By boom
In gloom

Switch on the button
You jump
I jump 
Into a Russian roulette

You look at me
I look at you
Cross one’s arms
Under arms
Sit together
With the masquerade...

Seesaw
Flip flop

Upside
Down go

Switch on
Turn off

Nothing
Between

One or
Zero

No if's
Or maybe's

Black white
Day night

No dawn
No dusk

Binate
Just state

Love me?
Hate me?

'Tis Which?
Choose one!...

Please heal my best friend,
let her walk this earth upon a path of golden thread
If the pain must go somewhere, 
let it live inside of me instead
Her smile makes each flower grow and the moon switch on its light
Please heal my best friend,
Amen and 
good night...

#Another year gone,
Your'e still in my heart,
Your'e truly missed every hour apart,
I know your'e there, I know your'e not far,
I look at the sky and pray your'e that star.

I repeat a prayer each day or night,
to wish you'd come home and switch on the light.#...

Get up in the morning
Go shopping and smile
Come home, tidy up
Laugh with friend's and smile
Switch on the tv
The news is all bad, but smile
Take a bath, wash your hair ,and smile
It keeps them happy, when you smile
They think your happy
So maybe the smile's worthwhile...

supermoon rises
obscured by huge fluffy clouds 
I switch on TV!

There was so much press coverage of the 'supermoon' yesterday but it was so cloudy I only managed to get a small glimpse of it ... so I turned on the TV to see it properly!

Cherished in great heat.

Silently cools, our bodies.

It spins and makes us cool.

With its lamps hanging below.

A most comforting device 

And beautiful too.

Its magic?

It never asks a thing of you.

A simple switch on our wall.

Keeps us cool, till breezes of Fall.

Take me in to the Ball Game
   Take me into my room
Just switch on the old-fashioned radio
   For a taste of the game, it's the best way to go

'Cos it's write, write, write a new poem
   As you cock half an ear to the game
For it's one, two, three stanzas -- Cubs win!

handsome boss with exceptional style
                                asks lady assistant with a sweet smile
                                 to switch on a computer on her table 
                            as the boss sits near by she becomes unstable
                             oh! sweet mistake happens so needs to refile...

A January Sunday

It is forenoon with showers of rain
Houses try to huddle together for warmth
The trees on the avenue are still wrapped 
In light that comes on when darkness falls 
At five in the afternoon 
Indoor heavy jumpers are worn too early to
Switch on the electric heating 
We watch TV, drink coffee, wait for lunch

Clean our world,
Flush those empty bubbles,
My bulb has broken. 

I forgot to turn the switch on,
Lightning striking as my light,
I rebound to rebuke! 

Clean our world, 
Pack our moneybags, 
I am distributing to our people. 

They are humans,
Same blood, same spirit and same species!
They are my lineage. 

Lightning striking as my light....

stars light up the sky
power switch turned on…
festive lights bring festive cheer









*The City's Festive Lights
are switch on early in December
which marks the beginning of all 
festivities in Cape Town for 
Christmas and the New Year.. 
A concert is held in the City Center
before the lights are switched on at 8pm*...

Housework
Can't shirk

Dust dirt
Desert

Dusting
Busting

In hand
Disband

Move forth 
With cloth

Wipe clean
Shine sheen

Wash clothes
Dirt goes

Hang out 
Line route

Switch on
Iron

Decrease
Each crease

Vacuum
Bedroom 

Wash floors 
And doors

No fun
Jobs done.

*Route pronounced rowt for rhyme purpose*

I'm hardly awake
and I start to quake.
If I should choose
to switch on the news,
a message of doom
deepens my gloom.
From delusion to delusion
a world in confusion
tumbles and stumbles
as everything crumbles.
Then I see Sally
and hope starts to rally.
She's only seven
and a present from heaven.
I then hear a tweet
and sorrows retreat.
The sight of a dove
reminds me of love....

Shhhh, what's that noise? switch on a light.

I heard him, a bang, it went bump in the night.

Peer in the cupboard, out the window, over there,

look under that dusty old bed if you dare.

Quick, back under the covers, there's no need for alarm,

lets switch on our torches, they'll keep us from harm.

We did it, we're safe, there's was nothing to fear,

but who is that shadowy man drawing near?...

All the horrors in the news
Rip into my soul 
So I switch on the game 
The Mets are playing the Nationals
Losing at the moment 
When I was a kid 
I cried when they lost
I cried a lot! 
They used to be terrible 
I watch the electric warriors 
battle on the screen 
7th inning almost over 
60 years old 
I am in the 7th inning of my life
After  finishing this poem
I will watch the rest of the game

When the temperature soars
   My Muse is cranky and cross
Whether in or out of doors
   Meter and rhyme are quite lost

My head heavy, I'm bored
   Sweat pours off my chin
Hunched over the keyboard
   What a funk I am in

To slumber I yield
   I nod off for a bit
My fate surely sealed
   Poetry, I quit...

Yet switch on the a/c
   And, voile! A new me!
To the delight of my Muse --
   Cool air lights her fuse!...

Summer

Can i switch on the ac for my sweety.
To cool you in hot summer day honey.
Can i be your lotion dearie.

Life without love

How can you love me so deeply 
Then as a sudden storm blows in
You can stop
Turning a light switch on then off

Plans made 
Dreams imagined 
Never wanting to be apart

Then silence 
As the stillness of a summer's air
Pulling back
Uneasy feelings cover you

How can this be ?
A person is still the same inside
If one looks deep you would know
Listen to your heart

Life without your love is no way to part...
