There once was a man they called Ted His State Leader made his face turn bright red He stayed home in dismay – He had so much to say But he was masked up and silenced instead.

I spend my valuable hours with family and friends, enjoying the simple pleasures of what life has to offer. Otherwise, I’ll have pen in hand and notebook at the ready for those insightful snippets that dream up a poem.
I contribute to Cosmofunnel where you’ll find a guided universe of poetry and art.
Unknowing
Ajar – the window lets in wind monotonous the sound Welcomed by the latch that breaks with questions that abound I look outside and see the sea tumultuous of form The tide will rise to my surprise before the heavy storm I check the glass – it rattles so – like an empty bottle whistling […]

The ocean’s child
The ocean was his child He played with while away The sky was an absconder From a royal’s dour day He listened to the ‘Helmsman’ His wife (one day) – would replace Gravity – sincerity His choice – his saving grace I will endear myself to thee And give honour to the Crown For ever […]
Haiku poetry XXVI
A sky of emptied tears Nightfall turns warmth into winter – A wan smile – soothing
Building forever
A speckle of dust Flies in his face Defeating a smile Standing aside A wail of wind Blows by his mind Distracting a thought Where frustration resides A feast or a famine Flooding rains or dry earth Food thrown in the bin A lone man is diving Cherish the lentils The taste on the tongue […]
