my best friend is my dog.  goes every where with me
everywhere i go he will always be
loves it on  the beach on a sunny day
like to chase his ball he will play all day

best friend in the world there could ever be
always by my side to keep me company
he means the world to me he is my best friend
with friendship that is real and will never end

while sitting in my garden a robin sang to me
his lovely robin song with a lovely melody
with his bright red chest gleaming in the sun
happy and content having so much fun

i sat there and listened to the song he sang to me
took my heart away made me feel so free
when his song was over the robin flew away
and the song he sang i remember to this day

I long for You —
I pant for You —

Desperately, I scream, internally,
Till my face is blue —

Here, there is no water,
Only rock, capturing no dew;
But devastatingly reminds me:
There is no home but You!

Trembling leaves stand out,
Yellow amongst the green-

First to expire in heat,
They tremble and fall
Decondensed,
Brittle dry harbingers

Of an early Autumn,
Chill borne on North
Sea breeze

This sunny Summer morn

In memoriam
is not for me:
well I've lived
and now I'm free

from life's every pang
angst and misery
the shadows have fled
all that's before me is joy and beauty

curled up on the couch
in that green sweater i love
makes your eyes greener

I am gonna come clean...
I think I am just a
tinsy-wee bit of a
DRAMA QUEEN!

Seeing things
in hyper-colour
When really it's black and white
and lacking wings

Yep,
I’m a queen
Of drama and melodrama
Take me down, down into the deep.

Where there is no sleep,

But a perpetual stream,

of life...

Essentially inedible
Is that all
That terrible?
When you consider
Where the criticism came from.
