(Note to readers: overnight, I seem to have developed a profound injury to my right hand, so I've had to write a poem that just uses the left hand letters. Apologies.)*
beasts at seeded grasses grazed,
at vert swards, barbed warfare crazed,
bravest, wettest crawdads fazed:
zebra, badgers, steeds bedazed.
reeded area: waders tweeted.
vexed debaters cede, reseated.
steadfast traders swayed, retreated;
carers, stewards, beasts - defeated.

ravaged streets were desecrated;

Time to discuss death with your child
Mommy, come look!!
Daddy pointed a gun at his face and fired it!
He won't get up
Mommy, he's funny looking, come look!
Daddy pointed a gun at his face and fired it!
He won't get up

Oh I am so tired
of cold, wind and rain
reverberating echoes
cyclone in my brain
spirits creeping
remnants of past
haunting darkness
shadows cast
growing more weary
worse than before
a constant cloud cover
forgetting to soar
not protected
no armour to wear
demons devour
without a care
drowning in wreckage
an emotional flood
this time the enemy
out for blood
of cold, wind and rain
reverberating echoes
cyclone in my brain
spirits creeping
remnants of past
haunting darkness
shadows cast
growing more weary
worse than before
a constant cloud cover
forgetting to soar
not protected
no armour to wear
demons devour
without a care
drowning in wreckage
an emotional flood
this time the enemy
out for blood

Paul Hollywood - the recipient of a British national, colonialist award for services to Himself!
By Stanley Collymore
Even if the MBE actually meant
anything which, on a practical
level, I quite personally don't
think it does, as Britain, in case those
handing out these evidently basically
pointless gongs, as well as the really
deluded recipients, basically proudly
and vaingloriously, happily receiving
them, don't appear to simply realize,
no longer has an empire, and that is
specifically therefore what the MBE
is obviously all about: a Member of
the British Empire, and rather in my
point of view,...

Nearing the end
Will I see the light?
If so, I hope it ain't bright
Curtains will soon close

I Am Father Time
I've been stalking you your whole life
Hiding in the shadows
Creeping, lurking
With scythe in hand
Waiting for the right time
To take what's mine
My whsipers tease your death
And their echoes raise the hair on your neck
My hourglass is a reminder
The sands of time are running out
I break down your body throughout your life
As a warning
A reminder
Did you find redemption
I don't care
Judgement is not for me to decide
I am father time
I always capture my prey
I am the ultimate predator
So...
Hiding in the shadows
Creeping, lurking
With scythe in hand
Waiting for the right time
To take what's mine
My whsipers tease your death
And their echoes raise the hair on your neck
My hourglass is a reminder
The sands of time are running out
I break down your body throughout your life
As a warning
A reminder
Did you find redemption
I don't care
Judgement is not for me to decide
I am father time
I always capture my prey
I am the ultimate predator
So...

ghostly
she died a few days ago
they told me,
of a rare and radical cancer
in the common bile duct,
It saddened me to know...
after leaving her life...
"I don't need the man
but I want the poet."
she said then.
now she is dead
and I remain a poet
even though she doesn't know.
became the ghost muse
of what doesn't rhyme with me.
She died, they told me!

Arguably pond life but quite not that shamelessly so as the Royal Family!
By Stanley Collymore
Karen Matthews, in my honest
assessment of her situation,
seemed literally relieved
that her children were actually removed
from her and clearly obviously, put into
care; as she generally crucially had no
natural interest, other than a basically
quite undoubtedly strict financial one
by simply evidently being on the dole,
discernibly in or any natural empathy
with them! And thus, unquestionably
with these kids gone got the chance
to restart her own life, all over again,
with no...

Deafening Scream 6/20/23
We’re all screaming over each other and no one can’t make out their own voices. The suffering is so loud we don’t even realize we’ve gone deaf, because it continues in our heads. Covering the ears only makes the sound clearer, making noise adds to the sound itself. It’s finds a way to make every second of living torture. Deaths whisper calls out in this chaos, a brief moment of relief before it fades out again and I’m stuck here unable to listen. What a fucking tease.

When you punish innocent people they usually tend to fight back!
By Stanley Collymore
If another nation attacked a British or USA Embassy or Consulate or, for that matter, any of the NATO member countries killing diplomats and staffers within that said establishment, which in international law is part of its own sovereign country, what do you quite honestly think, and no virtue signalling bullshitting please, the country that owned that targeted consulate or that embassy, including your own, would do?
And to asininely claim or even distinctively disingenuously state that Iran had military personnel as well as diplomats in...

Take your time Wills - no rush!
By Stanley Collymore
Didn't some of you monarchical sycophants like the racist and pseudonym named Politok 101 in the Daily Mail, allegedly of Noorico South Africa, and still daringly, asininely I would say with their avowedly racist views, living in post-apartheid South Africa, get the memo that briefly William is temporarily, purportedly going back to work? Curiously there's more about Meghan and her jam enterprise than there's actually about William, some of the latter's royalist fans are openly gloating that in their, my interpretation of things sick minds, the said William is...
