Christmas Angels

Their existence on earth

Often so quizzical

A little eccentric

More ethric

Than physical

Sometimes they're

With us

Our lives 

They do touch

When others 

Dismiss us

Their smile

Means so much

They're guiding

Through life

From the smooth

To the rough

Reminding lost

Souls

That they are

Good enough

What you say this Christmas may be even more important than what presents you give ....

Most of them heard

Many are bitten

By the power

Of word

The gifts that 

You've given

Soon they forget

But choose words

With care

Lest a lifetime

Winners & Losers

You win when you say yes

You lose when you say 'Yeah, But'

You win when you say 'I Will'

You lose when you sulk & tut

You win if you choose Now

You may lose putting it off

Till tomorrow

You win if just persist

Don't go quitting in

Pitiful sorrow

You win by being daring

Dare to be yourself

You only lose when you're past caring

Just waiting for someone else

Seasons Like Feelings

It was so sudden and strange

How the seasons changed

Winter came

Once again

Way ahead of it's time

Now only the

Ice cold

And uncertainty

Were real

All that

Summer sun

Just Numb

Should she wait 

For it to thaw

As she did before

Or set sail

For 

Warmer Climes

Addiction

Anything, Anyone

Can become

A bad habit

It almost goes, unnoticed

Focused on something else

It just sneaks in

Nibbling

in the background

Before you know it

Habit's biting you

Forced to feed

It's greed

Trying to tame a tiger

Bound to your

Blood soaked bandage

Every finite fibre

Of threadbare

Existence

Just holding it together

No freedom from

What's Left?

Here's the science bit... the left side of the brain is where visuals and imaginative ideas are constructed and so....

Is someone being misleading

Telling tales Oh So deceiving?

With every word they utter

There just ain't 

No believing

Still searching for the truth

But not a single trace

One thing  that you must do

Look straight 

Into

Their face

As soon as you'v...

Giraffe

I heard that Giraffes have been protected from being slaughtered for their body parts for the first time this week....So a celebratory poem

 

It's Wonderful to have 

A long neck

It reaches up

To the sky

I can nibble leaves 

On treetops

And smile at

Birds

As they

Fly by

It's just

Great 

Having this

Long neck

I can see

For Miles around

Where does your mind

Begin

And into mine

Then end?

Feeling individual

All your

Boundaries

You defend

Ego ties 

You down

Anchored 

To one place

I like to

Peer beyond

Beneath your

Earthly case

Thoughts constantly

Exchanged

And yet

Cannot

Be seen

Brexit Poker

Macron's

Got on

His poker face

He says there'll be No reshuffle

Poor ol' Boris 

More disgrace

His hair

All in

A ruffle

'We need to leave

Before Bewitching Night

I'm really in a rush'

But we all know they can't get it right

We'll never get our royal flush

Lost Meanings

Hearing that words from Natural history such as Acorn and Conker are now lost on the latest generation got me thinking...

 

When web was a silky spider's thread

When online was your school shirt

Fixed on with a peg

When a tablet was something 

You took, when ill

Nothing more

But a type of pill

When mouse was

Something chased

By a cat

OK, I'm going

Too far bac...

The scribe sits

In silence

Waiting for a muse

To remove

Doubt

He prepares 

In meditation

Now he's between

Two worlds

Almost time

A swirl

ConVERSEation

Cryptical clues

On the tip of the tongue

Performed in a verse

Or a line of a song

Meaningful messages

Massaging your soul

Lost in a rhythm

You just can't control

Regular chat won't

Give you this thrill

But tuning in

to a poem

Certainly will

Seasonal Variations

The changing colour of the seasons

Can life get any better than this?

Reflecting through all the reasons

Of why we came to exist

The midlife comparisons of autumn

As we're reaping our rewards

Fear of the chill in winter

Will we survive old age

Or be ignored?

As we look back to

The growth of spring

When all was so fresh 

And new

To the warmth and heat

That ...
