POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Each to their own, I like em short. I hope these make you smile.
Frogs
Win or lose, sink or swim
the swamp loves lovers
who dive straight in,
they all live forever.....
Hand on heart,
head in hands,
-never weather together.

Hand on heart,
head in hands,
-never weather together.

HEAD'S TO SMALL
whatever do you mean,
too short? too lean?
something in between?
DON'T PLAY DUMB
never with you sir,
my luv? my dear?
mon bon monsieur?
ANOTHER BALL PLEASE
of course a re-run,
same bat? same action?
fetch an older one.

Dreamer
Sinner sang his last goodbye
then he waited
to die.
And no-one saw
not you or I
the crows that gathered in the sky.
then he waited
to die.
And no-one saw
not you or I
the crows that gathered in the sky.

Savoury
Sweet strawberry veins
for sharp birds that wait
when laughter fades
and tongues that bait
with games that change
twist a full figure of eight,
delicious on the day
but best served at night
as candy on my plate.

Don't Stare
A blind goblin runs into a wall
another crawls around on all fours
one rocks quietly back and forth,
and all because they laid eyes on our Lord

When the eyes roll low
it’s time to go!
Clickety-clack! and the bones go snap!
When the eyes roll up
and the organs go pop
-it’s time to stop.

Imperial Scales
Seven circles, seven snakes
seven heads and seven tails
locked in their embrace
seven crowns of emerald
with red eyes and tongues
made for those who adjudicate
when retribution comes.
Rev 12:3

Bargain
A glowing seal, a waxy thumb
a drop of blood and the deal is done
some small regrets -a little tear
sign and date -initial here
when your time's up
and the debt is due
don't call me -I'll call you.

Short
Silence breaks as the fire burns low
whispers fall away to stares,
those that don’t and those that know
the straws were drawn
-the answer is no.

Wishing
These bones are coins ringing round my head
bobbing like birds singing at the neck
my eyes are getting larger
swimming, circling the light,
dancing with the devil
in the deepest wells of my mind

Napkin
Sinew twists and muscles rip
bones crack then snap,
the juices start to drip
what started as a light snack,
quickly became a banquet.

Fool
Strung up in the centre of town
one leg crooked
one leg straight
swinging upside down,
both arms hooked
in a figure of eight
spreading lies, as he spins around…
