Tattoo-ed taboo-ed  gifts
decade old protective health warnings!

Different, no one else
life moulding - and moulded
wildly festive no longer?

Sometimes called nice, **** nice
drifting, a breeze of my own
walking wary with acceptance

Yet more hurt expected

The electronic world beckons
I lose myself in words
becoming just a little poetic

Hibernating - asked to play a role
to be tossed in a maelstrom
do I  smile and risk it

Inside drunken reputation, you find me
surprisingly centred, sober and yours
you trust and love

The *** is great - as are you!

Monday my legs belonged to someone else,
Tuesday my fingered thoughts found The Pub.

Here I think to rest around the clock till 2012,
inspired my elbow slips off the bar.

Kisses and hugs are exchanged x

Good night

Ganges drying mud
Armed hungry thirsty tide
Self-Grandiose hang dead
Money-ed bunkered islands
Generations despair, lost

Inspired by my poem 'BORN SCREAMING...' which succinctly weaved a complex story around 1950’s baby boom survivors. It’s pace, detail and depth coming from the listing parallel structures, alliteration and then the patterning in the three linked adjectives (e.g. armed-hungry-thirsty) in the last lines of the final two stanzas.

The Nile Delta
Dark, Irish Gwendoline found the gown
so pleasingly exotic
Fred’s pigeons
My ***
Me stout in paint.

Tomorrow
Gwen lolling wonderfully naked
The ***,  tall - enormous
Sitting, Fred’s proud hound
Ancient Greece, with
no ******* pigeons

A differing beat
quickly fading doubled steps
pulling separate

No stabbing pointy bits
Comfortably thin and wide
Yet sharp, so precise

Unchallenged dexterity, ranging
intimidating in-sight
hidden held secret

Interesting restful beauty, with
a swinging-kissing-singing bite of genius

The Chinese cleaver
used since Cambodia

Joyous Valley Girl’s hidden past
a poetic heroic fame

Travel companion to my
extended Sashimi blade*

Jewelled pomegranate
rich in sparkling seed

A kiss for each
we sing

I serve you
the fig
open


Drip -
ping


Honey
