Terrified, I looked beyond My ocean, river, Lake – my pond Tentative, I thought I heard The high tide lap ‘gainst beach-heads prize The rock jumps from the page. A vision’s sight With sty in eye Urbanised, I look away – ‘Scraper, McMansion – Mortified I reminisce in disbelief As faith […]

Teach
Remind me to take instruction From the antonym of him To take my teachings from The supposition of a fact Remind me to teach myself to learn From the better part of man Someone who can read and write Who has a lesson plan Remind me ne’er to listen To the man who […]
Stow-away
I never knew A harbour grew West of the sea I never thought I’d be caught With thee I’ve been in Other’s oceans But I’m enamoured In your sea May I share Your harbour Here, with thee? ‘Certainly;’ He said to me; ‘Welcome home.’ ‘Let’s stow-away, Together – All alone.’

Swings and round-a-bouts
Happiness found in day at Fair, Worry left at home. Sadness knocking on neighbour’s door As Concern’s left lying on the floor. Excitement joins Happiness at the Fair – Anxiety lost along the road – Sleeplessness found in another’s bed – Loneliness’ is Gloom – Gloom sees red. Delight joins his friends at […]
