Have a Try
Hi I am Mary and my cat is Bill
who’s green and fat but never ill
he loves to talk and can’t sit still
and often colors to get his fill
drawing pink penguins and orange
dolphins of each both had a million
cousins I said
“who could imagine that…such a funny cat!”
“but it’s easy,” Bill replied without fear
“all you need is hold what’s dear”
so don’t be shy do have a t...

Completely New
It’s usually said
sometime with dread
when excited there’s no head
and that’s very true
the brain often flew
wanting something new
can’t stay still very long
I’m up and quickly gone
feeling wonderfully strong
I’m a child of eight
who wont stop even at a gate
for this is going to be GREAT!!
and should you be able to stay
lots of fun co...

Blue Cow Delight
How could it be a cow blue as the sky
if it had wings I’m sure it would fly
and what of its milk they said chocolate was
served only on full moon simply because
the taste so delicate went straight to the head
with special powers even turning grass red
but of blue cows and moons
both can’t be found soon
takes a special kind of eye
in the right type of sky
so th...

If We Love It...
What if those cells collide
what if the world beats to a different rhythm
What if our path is forked
What direction will we take

What if things go smoothly
What if then we're three
What if it gets hard at times
What if we do our best
What if something
we never thought was in us
well, what if it suits us
What if there's a n...

Children in the war
A child is stuck in the war
Her screams are unheard in her throat
Her mother is bleeding
In the ruins of the kitchen
Another child is running
To the ocean in her dream
The bullets do not seem
To let her go a single step
Another child is lying
Under the old pink blanket
With prayers in her whispers
Wanting to be deaf
To be deaf to the bombs
Falling from the ch...

Monday in Tier 4, New Year Jan 4
Facebook is full of futility;
pandemic emotional ping pong
vapid mini Directors spouting “truth”
proving a point to the other side
The class divide is dividing us,
fuelled by media-driven Morgans
who needs to create division to thrive
pointless pricks with absent minds
Propaganda piloted, spoon-feeding
Humans walk past Joe the homeless,
humming on their way into work
happily stil...
