Poet Introduction
i'm a po et!
Alex In Parkland
Alex In Parkland
Down the Badger hole i fell
I had no time to dwell
Thus giving me this strange
And curious tale
Twas there i first met
Alice's sister, Alexandra
Now i had read
All about Alice
And her Adventures In Wonderland
So immediately decided
Not to drink from "drink me!" bottles
Nor food labelled as "eat me!"
And run a mile
If i heard anyone say
"Off with there heads!"
But i reckoned, and i guessed
That they were all on a day off
As i saw no queens, playing...

Nowhere, Somewhere
"All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?" (The Beatles)
That's the thing
They feel
That they do not belong
Anywhere
And may not want to remember
Where they all come from
And perhaps, not sure
That they want to know
Where they're going to
From somewhere
To nowhere, somewhere
Or somewhere, nowhere?
Me too, sometimes....

Outfoxed
As i drew back my curtains
I noticed
Across the road
On the roof of a neighbours garage
Was a fox
It was a quick brown one
Yet i espied no lazy dogs
It had a wander around the roof
And
As it was on it's little meander
I noticed the neighbour
Walking down from his garden
Then the fox saw him
And quickly clambered down
Into the driveway
Of the house next door
It then glanced around
And sniffed the air
Then sat down
In the middle of the lawn
In the middle of the day
No moon
No March...

Improv
improv is my second name
no it isn't
but starts with the same initial
although Inanna
doesn't mean quite the same
or does it?

One Day....
curious day, glad March, is out of the way, with it's tempestuous, quirky sway. today, at the park was good, celebrated a birthday, then chatted to a woman, oft misunderstood, who'd been abused, then abused in her life, through to her adulthood. then went elsewhere which i hadn't planned, to listen to music, from an ex member off the Jam band, but he read poetry instead, and his words , on deaf ears , fell dead. the silent applause was loud, so after about his 4-5th poem, i applauded to encourage the small crowd. you can please, some of the people, some of the time.............i'm now...

Waning
Time
Seems to be
Dripping
Like molten wax
From an ever shortening candle
No wick
No wit
A lyrical flame
Flickers
Then
Is snuffed out
To oblivion
As a dustcloud of thought
Is scattered
Then dispersed
Into a void
Of an infinite nothingness

Head In The Sand
Ostrich Sex
Last night
Within a dream
There was a conversation
About beastiality
In which
I declared
(In jest)
That the only animal
That i would
Consider having sex with
Was an Ostrich
No one laughed
Instead
Everyone present in my dream world
Looked at me
Either horrified, and aghast
Or in total disgust
I tried to explain
Twas only a joke
Which only made it worse
I felt like
Sticking my head
In the sand!
I have questions
Q1: Do dreams really have meanings?
Q2: How...

Oil
The shower spray
Massaged my aching limbs
Refreshed, and rejuvenating
As warm water
Trickled down my body
Like a soft flowing river
I rinsed the warm oil
From my hair
Feeling it glide downwards
Over my breasts
It then seemed to glisten
As it ran through my forest
Then over my thighs
As i was rinsing it off
The gentle caressing touches
On my breasts
Sent my thoughts a'wandering
Into a myriad of possibilities
As i imagined then
That i was not alone
Sharing in this
Vibrant sensuality

Dire
The wan, and worn
Haggard face
A pale cameo
Of former glories
And happier days
Now
Forlorn, fallowed
And forgotten
Her breath, hoarse
Rasping
A consequence
Perhaps
Of unhealthy indulgences
And a wayward smile
Bitter seeds were sown
Hands, and heart
Now gnarled
Etched with unwanted memories
As words fall
A dirge of disbelief
And belated regrets

The Naiad-Water Nymph
I hovered above
A moonlit pool
My wings reflected
In the rippling cool
I slowly pirouetted upwards
Into the blue velvet night
The bright looming moon
As i pondered beneath its glowing light
And as quick as a flick
Of an eyelash
I dived into the pool
With barely a splash
Deeper, and deeper i swam
Seeking my watery nest
Guided by the strange moonlight
My spirit engulfed by a piquant zest
The water lillies greet me
Nodding their heads in the pools soft glow
My wings' shiny...

Predestination
Destiny
Is a strange card
Predictably unpredictable
Whimsically surreal
Intrusive, sometimes spiteful
As a fox in a henhouse
With the curiosity
Of a cat
And as enduring as love
And as sticky as tree sap
The clock ticks
As time hurtles forward
Awaiting fate
Oft predestined

The Empty Teacup
The red pen
Flew from my hand
Leaking, inky words
Upon virgin vellum
Pirouetting inspiration
Spiralling, then swirling
Into an empty teacup
Apart from the leaves
That no longer
Had any tale, to tell
As they lay scattered
Like a confusion of words
That lay speechless
Hanging on the edge of an empty void
Like dry lips
Parched, and pursed
As an overused teabag
