All this rain
I’m going
To buy a gnu.
Shall I buy a
Saddle or maybe
A paddle
I will leave it
Up to you.

Dik dik
And eft
The newt
Don’t like
This ******
Weather
So they brought
A canoe or was it
A gnu

I’m lost
Mummy where
Are you?

Ride a white swan
Life’s lost its charm
Take some ******
Then self harm
Please don’t judge
Me with scorn
Never really given a ****
Since the day
I was born.

Isolation
*******
Fill the screen
With ****
Never really given a ****
Since the day
I was born

Then one day
I had a bit of luck
Turning of the tide
Then the world engulfed
Me yes
I died.
Was I an
Angel with a ***** face
Or was I just
Misplaced .

Poet surfer
After reviews
Thousands
A day
That will do.
Problem is
Do you
Have to be
Good
Most poetry
Is there
And
misunderstood.

Cornfields
Of gold
Enigma
Of stone
Bees on
The wing
Hear the
Drone.
Meadows
green
Birds
Do sing
Is this
What nature
Brings.
River banks
Full of life
Down country
Path
walks
Husband and wife.
Combine harvester
Doing its thing
On cornfields
Made of gold
Everything dies
In nature
It’s a part of
Getting old

Military madness
Rearing it’s ugly
Head
Russia Ukraine
Still Counting
There dead.

Ukrainians
Russians
Must accept
Defeat
There are no
Winners in
War
Just dead
Meat.

Military madness
Comes at a cost
In human live
Which are lost

America and the west
Causing unrest
Fuelling the fire
Doing there best.
Military madness
Wise to invest.

You are the
Sunshine
In the pouring
Rain.
Coming home
is overdue
Please come back
We all love you.

Tears have
Been cried
Since you’ve
Been away
The children
Miss you
Everyday.


A candle lit
A light stays on
There’s warmth
In there hearts
Do come home
Where you belong.

Coming home is
Well over due
Somehow get
Home
We all love you.
