Set open on your lap
And a mirror on the wall that's opposit...

It Started With A Blank Canvas

...

It started with a blank canvas,
the life landscape I painted since,
shows a friendly fence or two, 
some with pegs stout and straight,
some with bars broken and bent,
a barrier between the r...

We are striding into the new year with news 
of an earthquake that got people to sit up instead 
of slumping on the sofa watching a Netflix

Ceremony of birds

There is a sombre silence, 
as mist veils morning air.
A plethora of feathers

A ceremony of birds,
heads slumping,
soundless and homeless,

The Writer's Book Bag

...The Writer's Book Bag


     When I looked done,
     The bags were all around.
     Scattered on the floor,
     Obviously bought at a secondhand store.

When oncoming headlights are glaringly brig...

Understandable Embarrassment From Mr President

...Five fine artistes combine The Outrageous 
With love messages ‘Courageous’,
Their offered songs a triple grand
For an innumerable-like-sand:

Motionless 
Emotionless 
Stagnant thumps from my heart

the world in front of me
