Bonfire by Twilght
He Piled up the past, set it ablaze.
Under Sapphire twilight
Specked with diamonds.
The fox watched the red hot light
From the safety of the briar
Hungry winter flames
Leapt out of oil and turpentine
And the rubble of the past
Was turned to ash
Under Sapphire twilight
Specked with diamonds.
The fox watched the red hot light
From the safety of the briar
Hungry winter flames
Leapt out of oil and turpentine
And the rubble of the past
Was turned to ash

Abstract Triptych
I have just finished a triptych, two years in the making. It began with a photograph and ended up on canvas. The art was inspired by many things. Even in my darkest moment, I was driven to pursue these abstracts. I wrote and published some strange poems under two different profiles on this site, both of those profiles have been deleted. I want to apologise if I said weird stuff. I wasn't right during 2021. Here is the art, the only positive to come out of the madness.
I could tell you what it means but where's the fun in that.
They are heavily inspired by Poetspeaks...

Notable Sky 2#
The wind roared through leafless trees
Like winter waves on shingle shores
Ash grey clouds bled across weakened blue.
Parliments rode the wind.
The black dog ran across sodden fields.
The sun failed.
Rain.
Like winter waves on shingle shores
Ash grey clouds bled across weakened blue.
Parliments rode the wind.
The black dog ran across sodden fields.
The sun failed.
Rain.

Notable Sky 1#
Three rooks circled across the rainbow twilight.
Then the pale yellow moon came out behind the leafless ash.
A light show for those with their head in the clouds.

THE EXAMINATION DESK
It was the day of nine o’clock G.C.S.E math’s exam. We lined up outside the lunch hall like conscripts awaiting basic training. The black painted mesh of the bike shed was flaking. I picked at it. I felt sick. I snuck into the drama block to smoke a roll up. It made me even sicker. I came back, I took my tie off, and then my jumper.
‘Where’s your tie?’ said Mr. Clumper.
‘I don’t feel well, you don’t need to a tie to pass an exam,’ I said.
‘Rules are rules. Put your tie back on.’
I obeyed. I looked at my friend. He was browsing a revision book. He was...

GRATITUDE competition entry
I’m grateful for the smell of wet leafy mud
When sun warms the graveyard
For the mud I walk above
For the sea’s mercy
When laughter melts misery
For artists who suffered for us
For musicians that warned and warmed and thrilled us
The way trees sway in the wind
When sun warms the graveyard
For the mud I walk above
For the sea’s mercy
When laughter melts misery
For artists who suffered for us
For musicians that warned and warmed and thrilled us
The way trees sway in the wind
