"triffids" poems
rickety minutes twitch in wood stained cabinets;
mittens in a bin . birch tones postpone in mauve
twilight... an unfinished diorama.
clandestine. a small glitch in a good rain... cabbages
smitten in mist. a thirst groaning; long bones caw
fully reclined... as timeless Brahmans.
old beams of light stack like gold bricks in a humidor;
mittens in a bin. black birds comb rogue stones then.... [ pause ]
triffids... blemish barnacles.
crystalline. a ball of lint in a storm drain... vanishes -
bitten out of sight. at first, toning old gongs... wind
chimes... earth's most wanted.

Flowers!
My baby bought me flowers.
Lilac roses.
They were terrific.
As terrific as virtual 'Triffids'.
My love, such beautiful flowers.
He thought he could eat me.
He said he loved me so.
Next thing that I knew.
I was his plant food.
A little fertile fertilizer.
Fed to those roses nearly blue.
Closer I went.
Moved up to study those passion flowers.
Up close and personal.
So wanted to smell those roses of lilac.
As lilac roses meant true love.
The one I thought I'd found.
That wouldn't break my heart again.
Instead that rose it bit my nose.
Gave me loads more pain.

triffids sprouted out of my brain, sinking their roots into my cerebellum
replacing electrical beats in my arteries with venom
they ate through the back of my left eye
they wrapped my whole mind in their murderous vines
as my body was shaking and my vision began to smother
I gained a new found respect for my headaching mother

Our lawn mowing man is called 'Flipper',
He does a great job, what a ripper!
He got the flu, we were a bit stiffer,
Our garden was full of triffids!
Then he returned, thank you, Flipper,
Now there are no triffids!

Showers from the heavens, stone, rock, iron, and ice
news, at seven, and eleven, even if, not good or nice
Triffids being planted, blindness, in meteoric wake
human's showing human kindness, our survival, now at stake
It doesn't seem to happen, every time one passes by
what failure does to cheapen, as calamity undelivered nigh
Like all those false prophets, descrying doom and gloom
old and worn out promises, while hiding in our rooms
I think tonight I'll take a stroll, and gaze upon the stars
doubting disaster tolls, drowning fallacies, at my local bar

Spielberg had his scary jaws
Hitchcock filmed his crows
Lucas serialised Star Wars
As rocky balboa came to blows
Tarrentino pulped his fiction
Oscar Schindler built his ark
hammer house scared us shitlees
pet cemetry had left its mark
Di caprio sailed with his lover
Gone with the wind,was just a sham
Titanic would never ever recover
633 squadron aimed to break a dam.
Eastwood never been unforgiven
et never did return back home
The long short and tall of it
Private Ryan was never alone.
exorcist the omen, scary movies two
hills have eyes,spit on your grave
Elvis Presley's film Hawaii blue
Aliens predators,King Kong on a tower
Papillon catching Hoffmans butterfly
As the triffids begin to flower,
****** and the ****** shower scene
the beauty and the beast
Snow White and Hannibal lector
Joining us for the annual feast
Having breakfast with Tiffany
Dancing on the African queen
Spartacus oh Spartacus with
Tom hanks brilliant mile green
John Wayne died at the Alamo
The film an all round total flop
Eddie Murphy made millions
as Beverly Hills finest cop.
Little shop of horrors
blues brothers darken pair of shades
My personal view is
Toy story was the best film ever made
