Poet's Nook
Won't you come and have a look
just a smile beyond the brook
where all you need is
a quill and some parchment
We can while away the day
with so many things to say
capturing our poetic sighs
on the wet cement page
You can write about a kiss
or that lovely love you miss
turning stale tears into ink
that will never bleed nor run
Or try dropping a little rhyme
just in the nick of time
spilt in...
just a smile beyond the brook

We can while away the day

Little Ponies
We remain too little to ride
And too wild to care..
Our only longing,
To shed our winter's hair...

A Path Unwritten (a poem for NaPoWriMo 2020)
Here we find ourselves again,
victims of a creeping tide.
Dropped to our knees,
bestowed.
Racked by a promise
to tease words from soul.
Sheaf them in primordial text
with no remedy or reform.
A sacrifice, a ritual,
unfaltering grip on bloodied heart.
Offering up morsels
to appease the passage of time.
Too simple, too easy,
until the walls venture closer.
The painstaking chip, chip
to break the yoke.
Must not give up,
for there is ripe fruit to bear
and a fellowship to advance ...
victims of a creeping tide.
Dropped to our knees,
bestowed.
Racked by a promise
to tease words from soul.
Sheaf them in primordial text
with no remedy or reform.
A sacrifice, a ritual,
unfaltering grip on bloodied heart.
Offering up morsels
to appease the passage of time.
Too simple, too easy,
until the walls venture closer.
The painstaking chip, chip
to break the yoke.
Must not give up,
for there is ripe fruit to bear
and a fellowship to advance ...

The Last Chance Lesson
This should be a time for Unity
For rebuilding the concept of community
For once we truly are all in this together
We are all clumped like birds of a feather
Unlike most people and most of all gods
This virus doesn't Judge it just marauds
It infects the high and mighty
The timid and the feisty
Muslims, Hindus and Christians
Those of other superstitions
Anyone can get this virus
This should be something to inspire us
To do much better as human beings
To rediscover our finer feelings
Relearning caring and kindness
Then...

Hero
Writing poetry can save me,
From myself, mostly
And all those ugly thoughts
That chisel their way
Through my very soul
Filling my mind with poetry,
My own, others', in creating
And ever searching for, or
Just looking at the world with
A pen and notepad in hand
I'll soon have nothing else to
Worry about, other than
What I want to say next
The pains, I'll write about, the joy,
I'll write of the past, future
And all in between, my thoughts
Whirring around, looking
Blank...

And Now, Here They Are...
Lennon and McCartney, Harrison, Starr
Drums and bass, electric guitar
Epstein, The Cavern, sixty-two
John's harmonica, Love Me Do
Movies, songs, hard day nights
Me to you, duo writes
Yesterday's music, Help! at hand
Screaming hysteria, devoted fans
Ed Sullivan, The U.S.A
Shea mania, rocked away
Revolving Rigby, Rubber Soul
Sergeant Pepper, fixing holes
Roll up, roll up, The Mystery Tour
Step this way, the trippy four
India, sitars, album white
The Maharishi, out of sight

I Challenge You
I challenge you.
I am going to challenge you.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision that you are going to planted firmly in the fact that you are going to stand tall, no matter what happens.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision that affirms you and how you are going to dig in, despite whatever setbacks may come and irrelevant to the pain you may be in.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision to choose you and to choose your life.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision to live in...
I am going to challenge you.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision that you are going to planted firmly in the fact that you are going to stand tall, no matter what happens.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision that affirms you and how you are going to dig in, despite whatever setbacks may come and irrelevant to the pain you may be in.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision to choose you and to choose your life.
I am going to challenge you to make a decision to live in...

I never realised it was so easy to be a writer
You can avoid all the rejection letters
If you just follow these seven steps:
Avoid too many personal pronouns
And distance yourself a little.
Don’t do it when you’re on fire
Or loaded.
Lower your blood pressure
Breathe easy and check your punctuation
Always keep an ear to what’s trending.
Re-work your work,
Keep checking it over
Until there’s nothing left of you
on the page
And eventually they’ll pat you on the back
And it must feel good.
because you finally made it.
They told you not many do, ...

Test Your Dream
Warmly welcome
the mind of Nick Herbert
into your own
with poetryology
(Yes, I made that up!)
the chemistry
of your reality
is not a fantasy
Psychoanalyze God
with reverence
if you do dare
at your present
state of grace
Have faith in
cold fusion
Collide observations;
collapse to particles
in your dangerous wisdom
and eternal intentions
A quantum romance theory;
mushy mathematical mumblings
Is it better
to guess badly
than to never...

VIBES OF ENCOURAGEMENT
As we rise and shine on another day even though life, has taken on a turn for the worse for some folks aren't here today from out there somewhere and someplace. For let us not lose focus on the situation, but yet focus on the how and why and when, for let's focus on the contents of the situation and bring it to an end. So that we can learn to live again, after being face with this from the depth of the unknown. Yes I know under the situation that is a hard thing to understand wholeheartedly, as I agree with your thoughts and emotions and feelings, but life shouldn't just stop there because...

In The Midst Of Chaos
In the midst of chaos and terror
I find myself smiling
From a simple conversation I had
With someone across an ocean
We were strangers an hour ago
But a Facebook group about a band
Led to a text and then another
And soon enough we were both smiling
We talked about bands
We talked about the world
We talked about our interests
We talked about love
In the midst of chaos and terror
We took a moment to brighten the other’s day
Making us laugh
And live in the moment
It’s these moments that we...
