The Odd Man Out. (Triolets For Palestine.)
What must the Planets think up there,
as they look down upon the Earth?
Does Saturn offer up a prayer?
What must the Planets think up there
about this damned bloodstained affair,
of warring men and Black Gold's worth?
What must the planets think up there,
as they look down upon the Earth?
Of them I'm sure that Mars alone
could gaze upon this war and smile
at bleeding flesh and splintered bone.
Of them I'm sure that Mars alone
with weapons by his murderous throne
would pleasure take at slaughter vile.
Of them I'm sure...
as they look down upon the Earth?

A Scorpion Among The Stars
A Scorpion among the stars,
this girl interprets every sign,
her ruling planet fiery Mars.
A Scorpion among the stars,
predicting futures, hers and ours,
she makes the OOB Moon toe the line.
A Scorpion among the stars,
this girl interprets every sign.
If Mercury is zooming past
he'll stop and have a chat with her,
aloft in Heavens huge and vast.
If Mercury is zooming past
on wing-heeled feet that fly so fast
he's always pleased to find her there.
If Mercury is zooming past ...
this girl interprets every sign,
her ruling planet fiery Mars.
A Scorpion among the stars,
predicting futures, hers and ours,
she makes the OOB Moon toe the line.
A Scorpion among the stars,
this girl interprets every sign.
If Mercury is zooming past
he'll stop and have a chat with her,
aloft in Heavens huge and vast.
If Mercury is zooming past
on wing-heeled feet that fly so fast
he's always pleased to find her there.
If Mercury is zooming past ...

Star Sense
If I perchance should look towards the night
and see the twinkling stars and shining moon,
my heart then starts to dance and sing in tune
with all the harmonies of starry light.
So I begin to feel that all is right,
at least up there, and hope that very soon
the Zodiac, across the heavens strewn,
will cry, 'Enough!' and come down in its Might.
The Scorpion, the Archer and the Ram,
with fearsome Sting and Bow and butting Horn,
would then command these squabbling earthborn men
to stop their fighting and become like lambs
–...

Another Silly Love Song
The red Rose is sweet,
the Foxglove is neat,
the Bluebell a tune
always plays me,
but the flower apart
that's captured my heart
is the sweet smiling face
of a Daisy. ♥️

Mr Green Poet
Icecaps were melting.
He wrote a poem.
Sea levels were rising.
He wrote two poems.
Islands were sinking.
He wrote three poems.
Eventually the ocean covered the land
and everyone drowned.
'Hmm. This is more serious
than I thought,' he said,
disappearing beneath the waves.

no need for drama
Happiness?
I'll show you what it is.
It's an afternoon Sunday
and a nice slice of cake,
shared with someone you love.
Oh, yes.

All That Matters
I've never gone streaking
at night in the rain,
I've never made love
at the back of the plane.
I've never met Elvis,
the Queen or the Pope,
I've not been to Holland
and smoked loads of dope.
I've not gone in search of
the source of the Nile.
I've failed in the running
of a four-minute mile.
I've had nothing published – ...
