The Mersirens
A giant goldfish bowl
Splashed into the ocean
The life inside
Swam around
As mercurial bubbles
Rose to the surface
As the fish mouths
Seemed to speak....
From my observations
They kept repeating
Just one word
Bub bub bub
Unknown to me
Every bub
Had possible multiple meanings
And it became to late
Before i realised
That they weren't fish
But an alien invasion force
From a distant water world
Within seconds
Or was it days?

Dead Beat
My heart beats
Like the pitter patter
Of bongo's
Smooth, and rhythmical
Jungle drums
No war beats
Synchronised
Symbolic
Communicative
Hollow echoes
On tightened skin
That once lived
And had a beat
All of its own

Batted About
Yesterday
I was attacked
By a feral
Table tennis table
It pounced on me
I lay beneath it
At its mercy
Blood was drawn
But i managed to crawl out
From beneath it
And stem my blood flow
Then exacted my revenge
I pinged it, but didn't pong
As me, and some fellow warrior women
Took the table tennis table
ApArt in the Park
What a lark!

Queue!
Today
I was in a queue
The woman in front of me
Stepped forward
She took ages!!!!
Especially after she paid
Very slowly
Packed her bag
Felt like a lifetime
I then stepped forward
Thinking
I'll be a quick customer
I'll hand over my goods
Card at the ready!
What could possibly go wrong?
Me
Asking did i have enough points on my bonus card?
No, i didn't
Then asking, how many points have i got?
Anyway....
The upshot of all this
Ive now completely forgotten
Ah yes!
Although i took as...

Skin Deep
That moment
When you run out of skins
Feeling thin
Life
Is surely only
Skin deep
But you cant
Roll a cigarette
With skin
Unless you're
Particularly weird
And the mystery
Of history
"Avocado's
Are named
After testicles!"

From Tentacles, to Pentacles
I'm as tired
As an Octopus
With nine tentative tentacles
But delighted tonight
As i was drawn
To the Queen
Of Pentacles

The Fire Tree
Born within the ashes
Of a firey Phoenix
The fire tree
Flickering flames float upwards
Hermaphroditic in nature
It's feminine flame flowers
Only it's roots are male
It's fruit
As hot as chilli's
The only life that prospers
Are fire flies
Their glowing luminescence
Sit like stars in the night sky
Burning cinders
Hover, and waver in the wind
Like elfin torches

An Awakening
The imagery
Created by the shadows
That ripple upon moonlit pools
Soft as a falling petal
Caught on a warming Summers breeze
Flapping
Like the wings of a butterfly
A lone frog
Croaks
Whilst poised
Upon a lilypad
The moonlit night sky
Becomes cloudy, and overcast
As the Earth below
Darkens
A hoot from an owl
Seems to awaken
Ethereal beings
As the hidden world
Slow comes to life

Ant I Thesis!
I once knew an ant, called Brilli
Who was born, it is said, in Caerphilly
She found it a squeeze
When she got cheese on her knees
Brilli Ant was actually quite silly

Caterpillars
Life
Sometimes cocooned
Sometimes a caterpillar
Always awaiting that butterfly moment
Take wing
Beautiful butterflies
Learn to fly again
And to float
On the soft gentle breezes
Of hope

A Tapestry
9:30am i leave my house
And quiet, as a mouse
Wearing clogs!
I head towards the park
Clip clopping
My boots, like horses hooves
(Heels need a cobblers touch
but i fear, it would cost to much!)
5 or so minutes later
I step
Down several steps
Into the park
And it is like
I've entered a portal
Into paradise
Within a moment
The beautiful nature
Is all around me
Birds, bees, and butterflies
Float, on a soft zephyr breeze
As i commence my walk
Guided by the trees
And a myriad of colours ...
And quiet, as a mouse
Wearing clogs!
I head towards the park

Down several steps

And it is like

Into paradise

Birds, bees, and butterflies
Float, on a soft zephyr breeze

Pressing The Wrong Button!
After a friend told me, that i should become Prime Minister
I decided, after a few minutes of quiet deliberation, and contemplation
Why not?
So off i trundled, and put myself up as an independent candidate for the next general election
I won my sear hands down, a landslide victory was mine
The general public, obvious fed up with current availability
And perhaps yearning for some fresh blood, and someone new to blame
Took to me, like a duck to water!
