don’t know why ..

old bloke bereft
better get ‘em in
before the bell rings
for last orders
are almost
upon us depends such little time
as we have left ..

A bunch of fives
Being musos, life's never quiet.
heart songs whirl; brain tunes thrum;
iambs pulse; words voice
their urges: "Write, hence
music comes alive!"
Piano notes plink;
harp's chords whirr;
vocal lines swell, surge, heave.
Drums bring solid tempi;
words weave paths.
Light, night tunes
boost sleep.
Peppy party songs
alert folks.
Awake, souls!
Allow music space—
tutti voice.

Well, Mike? How Do You Like It?
Connie looked and smiled at
Michael before asking how he
liked the new dress she bought
online for Nicollette's party.

On any given Summer's day
I'd forego outside play

Your Words
Your words showed me the way
Your words knew what to say
Your words won't let me forget you
I can't and won't let any of you go
Your words live in me
Your words are pieces of me
I can't and won't let any of you go
This was my illusion
This was my world
Always & Forever
RIP Deep Underground Poetry

Bellow, cello
Cello abhors a choppy accent—
deems it a din.
Below glossy floors,
a boy ghost flops by a door.
Bees abuzz accept billowy access;
deny glory afoot; accost adders!
First, elms lost mossy, hilly moors.
almost add best, achy foot.
Eery egg begins knotty, chilly, demo.
Adept deer ably bellow:
"Beep! Boop! Fizz! Fuzz!"
Chimps chill in chintz chinos.
deems it a din.

the weekend’s gecko vibe continues..
still in a shivering horror, in the corner
of this a herpetophobic mind.. rings
terrific bells as I cross this bedroom
each time.. wondering, has this gecko
taken a refuge in there.. or better to
say, has conquered the room in reality..
2.
a delicate dipteran like a transparent
tiny midge, over my mobile touchscreen..
suffering in sticky traps of a droplet water..

Orb
Saw this orb for over an hour...
Doing different aerial maneuvers...
This was the clearest footage...
Was able to get very bright
and dim...
Appearing and disappearing
in same spot over that tree...

old but not (very) stupid
mr sheridan, I’m not a scammer,
I’m ringing from the bank ..
if you want to talk to me, send me
a letter asking me to come in
for a chat sometime or other
than that ..
mr sheridan, somebody has stolen
your online identity and is emptying your account
right now!
then I would suggest, that if you are actually ringing
from my bank you already have enough details,
dear old mate, to sort it out ..
