Effort Isn’t Loud
I show up ready
Like it’s nothing, no big deal.
But calm is just a front I put on,
No one sees the ache
They say thanks, but don’t see the work,
Only the finished things I do.
They don’t know how many times
I’ve held it together when it got hard.
They see the results, not the fight,
Like it all came

Neat and Tidy
Rows of green spaces in a row
Trying to control natures flow,
all things wild have to conform,
To fit in with accepted norm.
Cut down trees they block out the sun,
Trim the lawn curtailing fun,
Chemical additives help it grow,
nature needs no help why dont you know.
Habitats destroyed no foxes homes,
Cleverer than us able to adapt,
Complaining about sea birds

tidy
poverty a blight
a dustpan for the fight
keep our cities clean
armed with will and might
the Israelis got it right
strategy obscene
burn them in their tents
bid vermin good riddance
best not to be seen

Filed in transparent drawer
Unruly impediments erased
Facets interact free of flaw
Seamless system clockwork
Methods remain meticulous

Let Me Tidy Up a Few Things
oh lord
before my life has ended
let me tidy up a few things
first, I need a set of wings
for my soul to set sail
towards
the kingdom of glory
next, I want to continue
to serve God
through
faith and to do His will
through good works
well done thy faithful servant
well done
while
being a guardian angel of mankind
in the presence

The Outside Tidy Up
The Outside Tidy up.
What on earth am I going to write today,
To keep up my poems for one every day?
I've told of the blitz on the house inside,
Now it was the turn of the scruffy outside.
Cleaned out the waterfall, made it look grander
Refilled it and placed it back on the veranda
I shifted the bags of

Its so beautiful to fall in love ,
With a glitter of shimmer , tender & so clear ,
And the way

With knots making it rider with lesser of fear ,

Neat and Tidy
NEAT AND TIDY
astute as a Mermaid
calculating cards
blameless at daylight
night less her dark
yearning a past when
selfish shellfish
blades were placed
out of time
out of mind
she waits from within
sea bed rocks of stone
beneath the coral glass
veneers of harsh deathly
calamities
blood spoors of
austere tragedies that
stain yet remain
bodybeached seagarbage
raw gashed lurid
grievously purpled
lie stagnant in rock pools
hidden by pure white

Bang Tidy
Beyond the wildest dreams
From the dark side
of the moon
I am no longer rich
In love
Like the six million dollar man
My circuits explode
I do not have to shine outwardly
In a dimension of my own
Slipping of into another world
Like a spaceship
landing on the moon
With a monkey
