Blue cheese and old pickles

I shudder while peering at sepia photographs,
showing visits to my maiden Aunt Hilda’s house.
Even though I was very young
it was clear she didn’t tolerate children.
I was to be ‘Seen and not...

tapping into my longings like an intuitive child of the seventies 
Every drip of icicle sent shivers down my spine 
and so I wrote her a...

After the Flood

only to drift back bedraggled,
as if today still pulled at their tails

They’re a pair of jeans, and to the ground they fall,
They stay as long as you threw them,
Yet they could stand tall,

Mister Squeaky Reporting

...This is Mr. Squeaky, mouse reporter,
squeaking to you from the Swiss cheese quarter,
where the crime bosses will decide the price
you'll have to pay for a provolone slice.

My modest size lets m...

Melted Cheese

...A lunch for me that’s bound to please
Is one containing melted cheese,
For on a bagel or some bread

Inside a quesadilla shell
Or anyplace to melt it well,

Packaging

...‘Taties and carrots and onions
All have their own natural skin
So why do most of the suppliers 
Use plastic bags to pack them in, 
Either the fragile brittle type 
That bursts  all over the floo...

Stretching Away From Self

...This cyclic-round-wheel-gyre-chakra bound
business of humanness -
such an unnecessary habit.

I have stuffed my mind,
I have put on brown leather shoes,
and nothing else in the world
