Sat on the park bench
In an effort to enjoy his sandwiches, Charlie brown
Reacts with a smile – to the girl who caught his
Eye….the girl with the red hair
Now – tomorrow – he might go over and talk to her

Reflection

The Christmas tree lights twinkled
as the girl stared under the tree
bright shiny gifts propped around the base
like supporting stones
expectations fulfilled ? perhaps – but
there was always something that
santa didn’t deliver – leaving an air of disappointment
Mystique
Manchester, 26th April 2020
Sat in the tranquil scene
of the gardens off
Piccadilly
really – it hadn’t registered before
engaging in conversation in
the college refectory
the year we first met – like
yesterday
Seagulls
Salford , 2nd April 2020
Someone is hovering over Salford’s bins
every day they’ve been seen – on spying missions
and some say – they’re worse than the pigeons
gracefully flying through the skies
until the bins on the waterside are
looking full – likelihood is – they’ll chance their
luck – with a lass coming home from the chippy

She walked around the room
picking up her things
the night had been great
but it was time for serious work
breakfast could wait
as she straightened her skirt
and watched as you woke
and all you could ask
as you shared a smile
“Is that my shirt?”
The Rebel

Salford, 6th July 2019
the one everyone remembered at school
not breaking the rules, just bending them
wearing skirts just above regulation
and turning up just in time avoiding detention
her fellow classmates – adored her act
popularity in the school yard ? – an absolute fact
but the lad in the library – reading his books
was the one she was after – if only he looked.
Set Free

She found the bird hobbling along the beach
and looked after it like her own
but like every child
it grew restless – to spread its wings
and go its own way
so they took a trip back to the shore
where the bird could take flight once more
and while the bird felt the joy of release
the girl felt an aura of peace
Looking : A Found Poem
#Love #Romance #Poetry
Salford 14th January 2019
another found poem by me via Spike Milligans Box 18
I’ve stopped looking for that diamond
that brightens up my day
the beauty of your eyes
still capture me in the evening light
as we pass each other by
and memories of walking through the daisy patch
still return – fresh in the mind
Girl In The Tinted Glasses
Salford 11th December 2018
I don’t know what it is with you.
You’re there at the same time, same day
Same Reaction to my appearance on the opposite platform
Gawping like a primary school kid
I’m not an alien – and i’m past caring
what old style clothing you think i’m wearing
attitude of a kid of an age
who isn’t even working for minimum wage
To try and catch my attention,
You flounce and pout
And if stood with your pals
You scream and shout
Maybe you think i’m “The One” for you
Oh if only – that were true
Giggling with your pals – shows you ain’t older
even if your attitude seems any bolder
Perhaps, you think the camera footage
will catch the eye
of an X-Factor Judge at Mediacity
but all your peacocking gets from me – is pity.
Charlie
Who am I, life’s Charlie Brown ?
For she catches my eye, and I’ve fallen down
Tongue tied with her beauty, so close at hand
Even though the words in the head I’d planned
a wonderful sight, with a beautiful mind
sometimes she’s harsh, but on the whole she is kind
Catching me out with those dark brown eyes
Occasional glances catch me by surprise
Heart rising by a beat when she’s so near
No more than friends, to me that is clear
Talking shop on the backyard, sharing an occasional smile
With the girl with the red hair, I want to stay awhile
