i'm a po et!
In A Pickle
I do love you
Rollmop Herring
As you lay within a tub
With thin slices of pickled pepper
Perhaps picked by Peter Piper?
And he is particularly fastidious
About which pickled pepper
That he picks
Apart from one time
When he was pickled himself
And no-one was sure if
Peter Piper
Was more pickled
Than the pickled pepper
That Peter Piper picked
And apparently
He was wearing a wig
That looked remarkably
Like a rollmop herring!

It's life Jim
it seems kind of ironic that my current existence feels like the norm, and it's like everything leading up to it, was the surreal, yet now realising that all of it was the surreal, and i have no idea what the norm is supposed to be. i suppose it's like trying to identify reality, and i have no idea what that's all about. and then i hear of war, then i see the insanity, and cruelty of mankind, and i cringe. i'm currently listening to the weather forecast, some oceans are calm, some are stormy, and that this changes daily, "it's life Jim, but not as we know it......"

The Winter Fairy
The Winter fairy
Was busy knitting mist
And weaving
The skies cloudy
She then pricked
Each cloud
As each cloud
Commenced to leak snowflakes
There began
A rich tapestry
Of a myriad whites
Blanketing the frozen ground
Time elapsed
The clouds ran dry
And then dispersed
The landscape now pure
The night sky
A million stars
That now reflected
The Winter fairy's eyes
She smiled
The stars reflected
Upon the glistening snow
As a babbling brook, began to slow ...

The Snowflake Ball
I was walking
Upon soft marshmallow snow
The sky for now, was clear
Awash with a myriad stars
And distant galaxies
I reached out my hands
To capture
The now falling snowflakes
As i tried to lick them from my hands
Before they melted
The gathering moon
Became my beacon
As i traversed the frozen land
Until i came across
A big wooden door
It slowly creaked open
As i entered a large hall
I was soon joined
By "a swaggering, of hempen homespuns"
As we attended

Berkana
Soon
The moon slept
Joined by
The Runic Berkana
Whilst the silhouette
Of a Birch tree
Stood alone
Sweeping the midnight sky
With a gentle flourishing
Brush of her emerald leaved branches
So Mother Earth
Could moon gaze
Upon the Luna beauty
Seemingly suspended
In dark space
A lone owl
Stood perched
Upon the birch
Eyes blinking
The vibrant moon
Reflected within her eyes
Yet she remained silent
And unmoving
The beautiful Berkana
Ennammoured of the Runic Moon

Merrow
The ocean
Is my mattress
And the softly cresting waves
Are my pillows
The blue sky above
Is my ceiling
And the growing moon
Is my bedside light
There i float
Drifting on the soft currents
Of my mind
As waves of thought
Ebb, and flo
Seeing of the day
In wonder of the morrow
The sky darkens
As the sea
Black as oil
Other than a streak of moonlight
Flows like crushed velvet

Explorations Into The Unknown
In the cold light of day
I see myself
Recklessly, and fecklessly
Drifting
Falling down rabbit holes
Exploring, and ignoring
The dangers
Both physically
And emotionally
Curiosity killed the cat
No returns on satisfaction
I took a wrong turn
Venturing through a portal
Into another world
That i cannot easily escape
Other than the eternal sleep
That eventually awaits us all
From which there is no detour
The tunnel of love eluded me
Instead i fell into a black hole
I am left floating

The red nosed reindeer
Is trans
As ironically
Only female reindeers
Get the horn
As this time of year
The dismantlers
Of antlers
Are in a rut
After rutting

Rebirth Of The Phoenix
A small red flame
Seemed to hover
Within a distant copse
Like a burning
Yearning
Through a dawning mist
It lingered
Yet did not ignite
The nearby
But dry, brush
And as i drew nearer
The clarity of my perception
Grew
I looked on in wonder
As i watched a Phoenix
Turn to dust
As i approached the ashes
They glowed
Like a thousand fireflies
I stood there mesmerised
As the Phoenix
Was reborn
As the ashes
Seemed to pulsate
As a beating sun
And re-form ...

Near Death At Birth,The Birth Of Death, And My Final Breath
Daylight
Is now filtering
Through my blinds
As dark light
Slowly drifts in
As another day of doubt
Awaits me in silence
I cannot detach myself
From this voyage
Of the damned
The self destruct button
Pressed, perhaps
One time to many
I know my destiny
But wish
For a slower route
Yet have always known
That my life
Would likely end
In some tragic way
My umbilical cord
That twice strangled me at birth
Will somehow return
To finish the job

Lucky
The tensions were rising
We were arguing
I don't know about what
I ran outside
The sky was full of planes
I saw one in flames, shot
It was then with horror
That i realised
We were at war
I ran back inside
To shocked to speak, petrified
I collapsed to the floor
The terror coursed through me
This nightmare had come true
The brutality of man
Kill slay, kill murder
Ultimate destruction
As he resorts to his nuclear plan
I knew there, and then
This was the beginning
Of the end ...
