Early Bird Fact Magazine.




a fish in a river that's golden and green swims slowly down a daffodil stream;

and everything purple and so are the daisies as the pink clouds started an intimate dream.

a sparrow in a hedgerow was reading a letter from the Early Bird Fact Magazine;

and bluebells sang prouder as the butterflies floated caught by the sunlight that gleamed.

an enormous pipe smoking squirrel was mowing the grass on the old man's crown green bowling green;

and as I laughed slowly a hundred tangerine horses flew past me and then I jumped into some raspberry ice cream.

a mouse sat on a pillow and played his violin so gently and ever so serene till my eyes felt quite heavy and we both drank some milk then we lay back and watched the moon smiling and thought the world's not as bad as It first seemed.

New Day

The tea has gone cold but still, I drink it anyway
There's a lot of people being told but they pray for it every day
The world is stone like the inside of a fruit but we are the seed growing new fruit to eat so they say
A new life regenerating itself come what may
A billion choices of what could die and what will stay
I want no part of this experiment for the choice is mine to not make hay
Today a child but who knows tomorrow it will only delay

If I could.




If I could.




If I could move to the heavens and the stars and the moon


If I could rise like a mountain from the greatest desert dunes


If I could look at the devil and make him change his tune


If I could share all of the natures devotion and make them see it like I do


If I could cry with such conviction that the world would turn blue


If I could lay amongst an arid land and turn it into the garden of Eden for you


If I could walk across a battlefield and stop all the killing just by dreaming it true

Sickness.





I remember I changed and the world didn't care so I hate her;

the sun hit my face and I cowered away thinking the dark is much better;

I sat in a rage as I watched myself age because It didn't really matter;

the thought of feeling good made me sick as the voices grew in my head so increasingly faster;

taking drugs to feel sane as I melted away to see something that everyones after;

I know I gave up because my teeth fell out of my head and my *** became ever much fatter;

so I light up my cigarette with a cake in my hand and think I wonder what happened to Peter.

Scarecrow dancing in the moonlight.


Made of wood and cleaves of hay,
he stands alone whilst birds circle around each day.

On a cross he is tied and bound,
an old hat he wears with holes in, all ***** and brown.

A sack cloth for a jacket, all grey and damp like the ground,
hands made from coat hangers all wiry and pointy like the corn that surrounds.

A head made from an old popped football and scuffed,
the eyes made of coal and a smile painted on like a woman you can't trust.


But deep inside is a magical thing,
that's asleep in the day time but comes alive when the sun goes in.

A man in a tuxedo with a smile so bright,
who sings opera in the moonlight.


A scarecrow no more,
but a magical thing,
that's beautiful, magnificent, he dances and sings,
but no one can ever see him you see,
it's just between him, you and me.

RESPLENDENT PERCUSSION



ON WET DAMP FEET



TAMPER THE DRUM



A SINGLE CONCEIT



WISE OWL
  


DARKER  TREE



SHADOWS GROW



WHITE MOON



POND RISES IN THE DISTANCE UPON EYES



AS WIND ACROSS THE FIELD SHIVERS ME



COMPLETE SORROW
Peter Kiggin Aug 2017
no one knows



as darkness descends my sorrow shows

a broken heart forever froze

a sadness that never goes

an emptiness where love once glowed

a deep awareness of lost souls

a desert endless with no tomorrows

a shadow where a man once followed

a condescending word or look swallowed

as society does not care or share nor borrows

a few words inside my mind that always wallows

as light ascends there is no sorrow

as darkness only reminds me of the past and why in a light beauty of colour always and forever knows.
