Here are a few poems I have
written:If you would like to
comment, I would be delighted to hear from you and might even reply (no
promises). Eventually I would like to have a forum going, but I
am not sure how to do that yet. Contact Me

Dark volcanic rocks
Dark volcanic rocks
Rise imperiously from the sea
Guiding the shape of
Interleading bays.
Wading through thigh-high water
Between black rocks
Lashed with frothing waves As I battle to round them Without being swept off balance.
Arriving at the place beyond.
Dark walls overlooking an unpopulated bay
Forbidding gloomy caves
Cormorants crouched watchfully
In high places
I turn back,
Shivering
Alone

I
had a weird
dream and this is the result:
|

Don't
panic, this is not a
genetically modified Catpig, but a
creature
I created using
Paint.net and a Wacom
Bamboo-One
pen tablet - my first
successful attempt
|
CATPIG
A
suspect puddle on the floor:
first unkind thought -
our kitten.
Then I saw her newfound friend -
tortoiseshell
kitlet, fluffy,cute,
unblinking stare of a baby pig
and padded paws of a
baby cat.
I gathered up the furry
bundle.
Resting its snuffly snout
on my arm,
it looked up, wide-eyed and
adoring
and snorted at my disbelief

OLD AGE PENSIONER
I'm an
OAP,
I cannot fare
dodge
'cos my fares
are free
With my Blue Badge
I can go anywhere
'cos parking
is free
My neighbours hate me

A COLD WINTER IS
FORECAST - 2008
Politicians fall from grace
Autumn
leaves from trees
Faces fall when things are aren't right
Prices
fall in the Credit Squeeze
Marxists say "I told you so -
You've
caused your own destruction
when corporations keep control
of all
means of production"
Answers are in short supply
Though
questions are prolific
If we must underwrite the banks
Our tax
will be horrific
Yes politicians fall from grace
Like autumn
leaves from trees
And faces fall when things aren't right
I
think
its known as sleaze

TIME FOR THE
DENTIST
I'll
smile whilst I can
Once my tooth is taken out
Sun will
stop
shining

Another Haiku:
WHILE THE CAT'S AWAY
Spring kitten
plays outside,
Winter cat snores Indoors - mice dance
gleefully

My
House
|
HOLES
IN THE ROOF
Our friend
the roofer and his son
came down from Penge
to stay one night and
fix the roof
and set up camp in our cosy lounge
They stayed
three nights
built a new back-door step
left rubberised paint on
my spare blanket
and my
plant pots
and my bath mat
(though they didn't use the bath)
You'd have to laugh
or
you'd cry
Especially if you stand in the loft
splashed by rivers
of rain
and can still see the sky
But the doorstep was good
