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...

PARAGLIDING
Although I'm super safe harness goggles well wrapped
Ear plugs in windproof attire snug secure no gaps
Fast heart irregular beat
Sweaty palms cold feet
Safe yet frightened
Amplified fears senses.. heightened
Here goes make way
Runway
Highest cliff
Beautiful surroundings
So so high
Have to look down to see the birds fly
Blinded almost by clouds
Ears ...

End of Restrictions
We all long for when restrictions end.
Times have been tough but we're on the mend.
Our freedom - it cannot come too soon.
Now together we may sing a joyful tune.
Life for us all must now improve.
For face masks we may soon remove.
And there's something for which many yearn,
That's for nightclubs and discos to return.
Social distancing will be abolished,
And the metre rule is to be de...

Come Work In Our Factories
Long hours spent toiling the land, his family had done for generations.
Living in tune with the seasons, never thinking of other occupations.
Farmers his father and grandfather before him had been, what else to be?
Of his sons he was proud, he said “one day you will take over from me”.
Come work in our factories, leave your village, leave your land.
Come work in our factories, ...

Ether
Ether
Two minds, souls and spirits connect to become one
Both energies Intertwined to give off a synergistic frequency into the ether
Two hearts beating to the same drum
Speak it into existence and he/she shall be drawn to you
Like two magnets finding their centre
At times the pull might not be perfectly aligned but in the end you will always find your way back to each other.

Entitled to Love
They tell us;
“You are not entitled to anything.”
But, somehow we feel that’s wrong.
The birds have food,
the beasts have water;
and they can find a mate.
They tell us;
“The world is harsh,
it hands you nothing.”
But, humans seem to make it worse.
Your rules, and laws and boundaries of the mind;
enslave us to earn a dollar,
while you stand and jeer and watch.
They tell...

The Wade
Cowards follow the crowd,
Cows follow the herd.
Lion comes sudden,
and wins the crown.
Timid follows the shown way
Night repeats after day.
Bees find the flower,
and bring honey to the hive.
Spite spreads the rumour
Virus boons an outbreak.
Terns cross the oceans,
Prudent values vision.

Lockdown Fatigue
Quick scribble. I just want to be the squirrel in the tree outside my window today. I've had enough.
Up and down the Ash trees,
Round and round they go,
Unaware, oblivious,
Of these troubles that we know,
No Coronavirus seeping,
Through their very roots,
Dampening their daily walks,
Or tarnishing their fruits,
No handwashing,
Isolating,
Searing, hurting longi...

Scream...
Freedom screams on the back of my words
demanding more than just a numb text...
A nation succumbs decapitated during years;
suffocated by discouragement piled on their path,
mocked for their sorrows, sufferings
and the blood they shed
The perverse, without mercy,
brandish a sharp iron,
ceaselessly striking the cheeks of the innocent...
tearing souls apart,
c...
