disagree with my point of view
if you must,
for ages you’ve been banging the drum
for your particular cause
exception to the rule – always when
results don’t go your way
Hello
Poetry
An acrostic response to https://patriciasplace.me/2019/08/07/in-other-words-hello/
Hi there….I know you
expected me to be sleeping
lazily on my bed in the
living room – I couldn’t wait indoors… so
out in the garden I am – can we play ball now ?
Nest (Another View)
Nature, Poetry#Fowc #Nest #Nature
Above my head, by the window ledge
a family of birds is living on the edge
living in a nest in view of my eye
occasionally searching for food do they fly
Waking me up with their earliest call
transcending the windows and solid brick walls
flying to treetops through clouds in the air
and searching out berries without a care
Creepy
Poetry#Fowc #Creepy
Cold dark corners of the house can
Really send shivers up the spine
Especially at night
Ethereal spirits dance among the cobwebs
Passing as they do around the floors
Yet – you’ll only call out – spotting the web’s creator!
Surreal
Poetry#FOWC #Surreal
Don’t look twice
you aren’t seeing things
what’s more – you are awake
ability of the artist
to fool your eye
makes your mind wonder
Walking into your minds – eye
without a single second to ask
What Is that ?
Blue-green
Beach, Colours#CYW #Bluegreen
Tuesday 6th August 2019
By the time we reached the Island
lagoons – of blue green came into view
under these waters – fish and turtles
enjoying a paddle in the waters
glassy waters lapping up against the shore
resting in crevices of resident rocks
each one giving a home to
eager young hermit crabs…moving there
next to the sea, but away from the tide
Bewitching
Poetry
#Fowc #Bewitching
You couldn’t put your finger on it,
the way this junior librarian looked her way
and you jumped right to it
Maybe it was her smile
or the way she had her hair
that captured her eye
you would share a drink at lunchtime
while the boys just stared and looked
and the cat stared from her handbag – their goose was cooked
But meeting that night – impossible
as off in the air she’d fly
leaving you down on terra firma
as she flew through the stars in sky
Carousel
Poetry
Call it horse riding with a difference
As the music starts and your horse goes
Round and Round
On the edge – you see your mum and dad cheer you on
Until its time to get off your ride’s back
Sailing in circles, one after the other
Enjoyment, with lights and music
Loving every Minute
Blasphemy
Poetry#fowc #blasphemy
Whatever you thought
was sacred – is defiled
up above,
the gods, the fates, and almighty
are collectively shaking their heads
from the words coming out of
someone so-innocent
and so small.
Random
PoetryGo on – Guess!
Guess what numbers are going to fall , as they
Go around the magic tumbler
Goodness knows – what six will drop
Guru’s mystical powers won’t help you here as
Gravity gets the ball on the row
Great scott ! you shout, as you spot a ball
Going like a rocket to cross it out
Gringo – Don’t get too excited – there’s two more needed for a tenner!
