Frost

Aching belly
Aching back
Eat
Stretch
That's better!

What shall I wear?
Go informal I tell myself
Blend in.

Ok.
I think it's time to leave for work.

Don't forget to lock the door
Don't forget your phone

**** I forgot to put out the *******!
RH 78 Jan 2015
These words are not mine
These words are not yours
No one owns them
We can reorganise them
We can restructure them
Everyone can use them
Some words mean everything
Some words are meaningless
No one can deny them.
One Word to comfort.
One Word to cause harm.
These words have been regurgitated a trillion times before.
We will use them again.
RH 78 Jan 2015
I never met you
I didn't take the call
We never crossed eyes
We didn't have lunch
We never touched
We didn't rush
You had been honest
I hadn't been so stupid
He never knocked on the door
The truth never came out
I made a different choice.
RH 78 Jan 2015
So much waste.
When will it stop.
Too many people letting it drop.
Streets full of litter.
******* galore.
Crisp packets cigarette butts.
All over the floor.
Think before you throw.
The ******* piles will grow and grow.

Its eyes were red with rage.
Water dripped from the cage.
Locked inside with nowhere to hide.
The monster was centre stage.

Its claws as sharp as razors.
captors were armed with tazers
Then came the silence followed by violence.
This monster was quicker than lasers.

Those who were left stood frozen with fright as the monster ran off into the night.
RH 78 Jan 2015
An unfinished conversation from a turbulent time
The unfinished drops of a glass of red wine
Each unfinished task you moved on from
It was unfinished business when you were long gone
An unfinished dinner I could no longer swallow
The Unfinished sentence I failed to follow.
The relationship unfinished long after the love had diminished.
Unfinished love relationship failed
RH 78 Jan 2015
"Eloquently put"
Said the man with one foot.
"Righty **"
Said the man with no toe.
"Fantastic singer"
Said the man with half a finger.
"What the heck?"
Said the man with a long neck.
"It goes over there"
Said the man with green hair.
"Knock in the pegs"
Said the man with short legs.
"Time to get going"
Said the man who was rowing.

Does it matter what they said?
All had one thing in common.
They had something to say.
