Your need

 

Do not swim downstream!

Don’t go against the current!

Lead where is your need!

Turn Around

 

While you face the past
Your ass faces the future.
Turn around quickly!

The deadliest artefact in history

Sword, rifle, arrow?

Knife, bomb, rocket? Canon? No.

It's the cigarette.

A Small Bud

A small bud, withered

But just a few drops of rain

Beautiful flower.

 

 

I was inspired to write

this haiku after reading

Nigel Astell's poem/comment

on my poem "Despair".

Chatting With Ari

Pity is the depth

we feel when bad things happen

to other good folk

 

Fear we deeply feel

knowing bad things can happen

to good folk like us

 

Sympathy is the

bonding of pity and fear –

There – but for gods’ grace –

 

Catharsis is a

beneficial expulsion

from mind … or bowel.

 

“Have I got it right, mate?”

Bankers With A Capital 'W'

 

Huge bonuses go

to those who screw it all up

causing vast bail-outs.

 

They say we must pay

to keep the top people in.

Making top losses!
