  • Identity Crisis? Not For Me

    Seen grandkids? I have, well not recently. Can’t wait to see them altogether after the Wuhan Virus restraints. Clamoring for attention maybe it’ll be ‘Ah Goong watch me do this puzzle.’ Perhaps ‘Ah Yeh why is your beard so white.’ I’m Ah Goong and Ah Yeh to them. Depends who their parents are. Kids of […]

  • Fly Swotting

    What is it about swatting flies? Thousands of prisms in their eyes The swot slaps down a deathly swipe Could this end their earthly life? Some buzz away ‘ thank god for that,’ But I prepare another whack, I love to see them squished down flat, With savage blows mortal attack. A few good swipes, […]

  • Brown Paper Moon – Prosery Prompt.

    Kate and David considered a student’s thesis while queuing in the noisy coffee shop. They chatted about her Rimmer Toilet Paper Methodology of Writing.* ‘It’s not a topic Chinese comrades discuss in polite party company,’ he said adamantly. Saucily she smiled back, waiting her piping hot ham, avocado and melted cheese croissant. ‘Sociologically it’s cry […]

  • Homonymic Sonnet

    Holy vest bloody and holey So should I knit or should I sew High above she calls out hi Morning vespers for death’s mourning. Lessons learnt, risks reduce and lessen One mistake can waste all I’ve won. Wait can cause a mental weight Waste calories bulge on my waist. We wonder why we look so […]

  • A Kinda Sonnet – dVerse

    Nudist doing astronomy, Bare arse pointed at the Bear, Wuhan wet market gastronomy Flu pandemic before we flew. Horticulture, a job for vegans Flower blooming in gluten free flour Strolling round in woolen leggings Roses bloom in serried rows. Carriage hearse trots along Hoarse shouts shriek at reluctant horse, Driver whistles a mournful song Rain […]

  • Shadows On My Mind [Reprise]- dVerse

    Weekly I see my past weakly, Wonder if my mind is wandering, Tendering my heart so tender, Ale blots out thoughts from what I ail. Peg thought she’d like to see him pegged. Days flash by in a whirlwind daze. Not Peg to tie marital knot. Whether rain or stormy weather. Beat the drum, I […]

  • Do We Know What Cats Think?

    Do we ever know what cats think? Sitting there imperviously. Lookin’, at you, eyes don’t blink, Then cuddle up seductively. As life changes, all pets pass Food bowl empty but ready for  drink. He never was pain in the arse, Gone to dog heaven, what do cats think? I ask the cat in muted tones, […]
