How To Think Like a Poet

A poet finds delight
In the empty sky at night
The stars don’t shine they glitter
The birds don’t sing they twitter 

The sun don’t beam it radiates
The rain don’t rain it contemplates
The worms that wriggle
When bluebells giggle
And rinses out our yesterdays
To make room for tomorrow

The city’s a hive of activity
Of multicultural intensity
And humans contain astounding extremes
Of venomous lies and heavenly dreams 

These are fractions of fiction and things still unwritten
And writings a bug that has to be bitten
If you can never completely describe it, you know it
You know you are thinking a bit like a poet!

Addictions

I’m in two minds
Within my head
Greed versus my will
In my two minds
I must discuss
My addictions still

Reason and passion
Agree a decision!
Two voices in my head it’s
With reason that
I do agree
And not these die hard habits.

How so persuasive?
Much they promise
Yet still back where I started
Once more invite
These dear obsessions
To be the dear departed

And when they’re gone
Would they be missed
Like a lover leaving bed?
Or would I miss
These soul vampires
Like holes within my head?!
