Writing
If I could write every day, what on Earth would I say, that would make all the readers come and look my way? Would they want to know my thoughts on the questions they’ve all got? Or would they stick with the authors they’ve already bought? Don’t they wish for new perspective to challenge old…

Love On The Road – a poem for Halloween
Shadows danced through the trees, like unseen nightmares, as the car passed with it’s unknowing guests. The young couple inside with their new bands of gold. Unaware of the dread that awaits them. He watches them. He’s always watched them. He waits. Exchanging stories and romantic glances, the car is scarcely large enough to contain their…

The Hallowe’en Party (A spooky poem for Halloween!)
The lights are dimmed, the beats are loud, They’re ready for the party crowd. Open doors, invite them in; This years cocktail – ‘Bloodied Gin’. The Frankensteins are looking swell, New stitches, tightened bolts as well. They boogie in the hall for hours, Then plug themselves in for more power. The Mummy family is here,…

I’m An Optimist
Monkey see, monkey do, but not the monkey in the zoo. You must look before you leap – tell the lemmings then the sheep. Grass might look greener over there, so don’t you look and don’t compare. That empty glass is now half full, to see both sides – a useful tool! As clouds are…

Progress?
Man evolved and made some progress, at least that’s what they say. When did we stop developing? What time, what year, what day? It seems we’re learning nothing, A sign of things to come? If we continue going backwards, we’ll end up at square one.

Dear Neighbour
Your dogs are barking loud today, like they always do. Should I pretend that it’s ok, like you expect me to? And when I see the blood trail, should I just look away? “Don’t worry, no need for a vet – that’s just how they play”. And so, don’t be offended, but I think I’ll…

Happy Anniversary
Do I tell you that I love you? Do you hear the words enough? Do you know I love our friendship? Even when our seas get rough. I love it when we share a joke, and laugh until there’s tears. I love that you still love me and hope you will for years!

Have You Ever Been
Have you ever been…….. Surrounded by Solitude Attacked by Kindness Crushed by Independence Confused by Understanding Deafened by Listening Comforted by pain Warmed by bitterness Strengthened by hurt Protected by lies Loved by uncertainty?

Tales of (non)sense?
Would a scribble on a table tell a tale if it was able? Should the fly up on the wall write a book and tell it all? Would the money that we save prefer to see a sunny day? They tell me “fake it till I make it”, if I bend it, will I break…

Motivation: RIP
That’s the lost soldier in our war. He got wounded and disappeared. We found Private Time, General Stress, Major Bored and their troops – But we fear the worst for Motivation. We’ll have to face up to the fact that we may never see him alive again.

The Light
The first rays of the sun tell you morning has returned, yet dark clouds weigh heavy. The news is grim, the world struggles to turn. People fearing the truth and turning away. For light to shine darkness must be seen.
