Nature At Night

Staight-backed grass sentries
Guarding the night and the air
Bowing to the wind

Ready Or Not

The clouds make shapes
When you’re looking
When you’re not

Echoes in tapes
Once recorded
Now forgot

Water escapes
from high cliffs
That’s its plot

Leaves leave by breeze
Red in autumn 
Sun burns hot

Moments like these 
Take torrid flight
Then they flock

Doing what they please
When you’re looking 
When you’re not

Cheese

Go on go on gasped the ghost
I was taken when taking toast
From the kitchen to my master
He killed me- he wanted pasta

In the kitchen shrouded with mould
Is pasta, 100 years old
Please cook it well, make it your best
Help my memory come to rest

For a ghost life is far from fun
My only true friend fears the sun
My guillotine girl gave me head
Then she lost it, curse being dead!

My mummy keeps me in my room 
Her bandages preserve my doom
So please bring an end to my woe
Yes! You can do it, On you go!
