Weed

Dandelion

A wee wee of vanity Stings me. 

A thorn of poison ivy,

A strobing globe of light In the sky.

A nuclear reactor of particles 

Clocking as I stand motionless in time. 

Tick-tock, blow away time

We see a flat hat place With superglue of oxygen

In my suit. 

I breathe deeply for the rise and fall

A mirror with five sides

With a smile beaming down on me

A man in white breathing carbon dioxide

A footprint of endless art. 

They rise from our kerb and 

drown out rivers and Ducks leave.

The Chased

The hooves of HedgeHunter - It’s bets on horses. Lucky with Songster;  War veteran from fields in Leicestershire.   The blacksmiths labour; The book Black Beauty.  Jockeys race as cowboys arrive In Land Rovers with horseboxes.   The ghost of Shergar -  Vets hoover straw in paddocks And the Lords gallop for Trooping the Colour.   Fox hunters bugle in protest - A chase against time with the bell from the Church steeple.  Ears sharpen my voice, neck to neck - Good news - Red Rum to celebrate! Godspeed to the betting shop; His finger to his shaking lips, With ladies’ hats  And champagne for their winnings - All at Aintree, As I go to a play called ‘War Horse.’

Peter's story

A fishermen's tale in a book we dress in a carpet of dreams. Nine angels streaming over the hall Who drink the silver cup of loyalty. Songs lift the walls. That lonely traveller In a pew. Silent and forlorn. Families running verses through their fingers. So we cast with a pebble Life's ripples on a pond. Pick a star out of my pocket. Such an old door, confetti on the floor. Fairytales of dusty promises we made. Look at the candlestick so forlorn; With seeds of judgement, peg a page to Our hearts. Walk in two by two, an olive branch So many souls lost. Let fly with the wings of life. Painted skin Many a fold. Such is love, so pure in sunlight one's rose of beauty embers In a picture frame on the sideboard. Leadership arrives with four seasons; Nails so deep; the burden of so many Whose table is laden. We give with gifts and Shove them a drawer such lies flame our sins. A suitcase in Sunday best, for who shall trespass into the wilderness? Be di...

My Rant

This is to the wicked witch with your false promises - You'd better wave your magic wand and sort it, As the NHS need a massive injection of millions To support people like us. They’re just a bunch of pirates, Robbing from disabled people In their chest on a desert island. Every four years there’s an empty Christmas box Of promises from their party. I'm sick of them - They’re just privileged idiots  Who fiddle their expenses and pocket money In their piggy bank. I'm sick of their game of chess In a game of Brexit - Or they’re playing political marbles. These days it’s like they’re on a biblical mission In search of some wise men bearing no gifts; Or they sit around with stiff upper lips, Drinking whiskey and hope the country’s problems go away. Well this country’s a mess; Our little island owned three-quarters of the world once And fought in three continents With a little bit of help from the Americans - And now they’re selling it off at a car boot sale! ...
