There are buckets made of plastic There are buckets made of wood The former are fantastic The latter not so good. There are buckets made of metal And canvas buckets too But metal for durability I'd choose if I were you. There's a bucket on a digger And buckets made of leather The former are the bigger And the latter not so clever. There are buckets made of tin And with a little ***** in hand Kids can build sand castles When playing on the sand. There are buckets made of rubber Or with a wringer for a mop And some in white enamel With a blue ring round the top. There are so many buckets And some I may have missed But if anyone should ask me That's my bucket list.

Seasons Greetings
Ignorance is this: What a luxury it is To write poems like this Head rested Against pillow Whilst **** in the world persists Kids shot on their streets Men and women bleed Defeated, unshielded Beaten and beat Is this a way for humans to be Treated or treat? Though I make no claim Or just complain The idea to change Lies with in our brains Not in our hearts Where compassion starts Our minds are the true philosophy To conquer our stupidity Do untoward others Or don’t do at all And what a luxury it is To right poems like this...

Fluid
Desire to oppose desire For that is your wish Let life desire death And so death desires to live Hear sound before it is here And lay present before it is heard For that is where I have lived And forever may I live Once known, not known Becomes unknown

In Transit...
State of bliss Half rising Sleepy eyes And mind half wiser Things I never knew But I thought I could do finding A secret state Behind the blinds of lighting Philosophical hesitation In preparation of love To feel, receive and give without trust No one knew that we could be like this See like this, or even grieve like this But the things we come across, We can’t fight, Give it our all Moving towards the light One day, you’ll see...it will be alright.

To me give this
And so the foolish jeweller played With rocks, minerals Dirt that made Precious gems Time forged: For ears to listen For fingers to feel For necks to hang above our hearts For engaging a promise For a gift Or memory Cut, processed And boxed for a fee True gems Come from within A soul mined deeply A journey begins

The foolish jeweller
If you're reading this I've finally found you If you understand We are fated For poetry is the language of lovers Desolate lands are our souls Filled with cracks and crumbling The drought has hit us all Replenish our lands With life and love Making us whole, once more
