Oh unknown poet

You can't survive
in a fire like chestnuts
such as this

nor can you ever survive
in waters with crocodiles

so I suggest
before you rebuff
remain unknown
tis okay for some

but the one you rebuff
is that iron
which can repair the bruise

so don't as being unknown accuse
but make proper use.

I have been brazened
over a period of time
I knew no poetry
neither rhythm nor rhyme

* l u d a c i o u s *

curve into depth delve
cup run sliver trap
a clever waisted
hip machine
from chrome stud
rivets on shallow
prudish pockets

plucked bow eyes
a sweet summer
haze
and a shimmer glaze
of down upon the
goosebump dervish
swirl of candy brown
hair adressed
attested
from the clubshoppe
dubstep motorhome
city clones

on her heels the lift
bounce jittery jam
that gyrates on
jiggle limbed
tone death on geriatric
jones

The iPad Blues (A new form workshop) Edit

Edited
My iPad tumbled to the cement
screen cracked, fell near my car
I forgot it was sitting on my lap
I'm glad it still works as intended.

But still my peace fades
dreading has me in a daze.

My iPad now defective
I can't go on watching this cracked screen
every time I enter my password.

The damage is not that bad
I'm just mad
I can't live with this iPad.

Ha, I bought a new one
placed a bid on eBay and won
now I have a bigger one

Centenary Celebrate, what!

Centenary Celebrate, what.

Mr Churchill I wish you were here,
to see what you have done.
The people who fought and died
for you, want to know what they
have won.

The battles finished in forty five
welfare was born on forty eight.
But those still lucky to be alive,
don’t think it’s all that great.

The NHS is more than wonderful,
but the rich are robbing it to death.
The pensioner can’t afford the fuel,
there’s no warmth in their last breath.

WORD PLAY - ALITERATION EXERCISE

The perpendicular pyramids of perplexing thought
And a stupendous polarity of power
Will accrue in a creative apotheosis
Of mesmerising miasmas and preposterous perspectives
Where a conscientious concubine counted coconuts
In a catastrophic cradle of a crank civilisation
Where desperate denizens of disproportionate depravity
Detonated a device devastatingly destructive
That ripped through a ravine of ravenous reptiles
And created a crater that sent circumspect citizens
Into spasmodic spasms of superfluous superstitions

Dance for now

In the distance
of a dark lovely night...
we dance alone
in hope
someone will come through
the darker forest
from a horse alight
right
and pick me up
to take home
away from my home

till such a one arrives
I shall dance tonight
rain, hail or storm
dance will be the norm

come tonight
dance alright
along with me
yeah that's right

we will dance
vertically and horizontally
that's all up to me
not ye...

let me

dance for now !

Morphing Death (A New Form workshop)

There was an old atheist poet
who knew death and much about it
he knew not the end
or which way to bend
his life in order to show it

So he lived and loved hard
wrote what he could
courted danger and love and strife
the end has not changed
maybe sooner or closer
but he only chooses to say

fuck it.

TAPESTRY - THE SECOND OF A SERIES OF SENRYU FROM MY OLD NOTEBOOK

A Cat’s Whiskers
arabesques of light
spouted through perforations
quiver quietly

A Spider’s Meditation

skeins of silken thread
Euclidean arabesque
a perfect crochet

From my window
I watch dusk thicken, ink
on blotting paper

Covered by ripples
The lake holds many secrets
In its quiet depth

when you awaken
to consciousness, you are a
flower in full bloom

Azimuthes of Shells

that ocrean strode
on confident green
waves

this sand in her shoes
as red as the dirt her
family home astride

grew

breakers of weeks
the hot host worlds
hastening beneath
the sun a pan of
oil flaming

newspaper
lined drawers
grown dingy
and the flowers
brighter

growing big enough
to swim the dark
valleys
in dreams

the fat trunks
holding up the day
and the windchimes
made of its creatures///
