The fellow from Brighton

There was a young fellow from Brighton

Who put on a mask folks to frighten

One look in the mirror

Sent him all a quiver

That scary young fellow from Brighton

Warning: don't read this if you are easily offended.

There was a young lass from Brazil

Who forgot she was not on the pill

She went out with a bloke

And had a quick poke

That pregnant young lass from Brazil

So…

So… (26 Oct. 14)

So two became one

And the dark nights begun

Thick jumpers and soup

And nights by the fire

With cocoa and book

Until spring comes again

To brighten things up

Halloween

Halloween (25 Oct. 14)

Halloween is on its way

The trick or treaters at your door

You wish they'd all just go away

So you can get up from the floor

 

 

The cat II

The cat II (24 Oct. 14)

The cat sat on the mat

So the child's rhyme goes

Not this cat

This cat sat on the chair

The bed

The sofa

The dining table

The opened-out cardboard box

Anywhere but the mat!

Sorry.

Sorry about all the poetry, if you can call it that. The verses just pop into my head and rather than waste them I decided to inflict them upon the readers of this blog.
I hope some of them are good, I know some are poor but they arrive along with the better ones and I can't help but set them down as well.
Anyway, I hope at least some are enjoyable and I will continue sticking them down as they turn up. ttfn
Peace and Love x

The cat

The cat (24 Oct. 14)

The sleeping cat

Is all a-twitch

He's counting sheep

Or chasing bunnies.

But cats can't count

Or perhaps they can

And keep it secret

To fool the likes of me

Who think they can't.

Vegas

Vegas (24 Oct. 14)

Vegas they say

Is a great trip away

So I'm going to stay

For a day

Or seven

Which is a week

For those who don't know

A pheasant

A Pheasant (24 Oct. 14)

How pleasant

A pheasant

Wandering alone

Amongst the vegetation

In the garden

In Autumn.

The Clocks

The Clocks (23 Oct. 14)

The clocks go back

The nights are dark

But in our hearts

The light remains

We don't need light

To show our love

For all we care for

Is still there.

The Muse

The Muse (20 Oct. 14)

The Muse once upon me has drifted away

I'm finding it hard to know what to say

In rhyme or in blank verse

I'm not sure which is worse

When The Muse once upon me has drifted away.

The hotel room

My hotel room (9 October 2014)

Alone and thinking

About what to do

In a half known city

Beer and food consumed

People in the bar

All similar

Or not

Who knows

What goes on outside

My hotel room.

The Light

The Light (6 October 2014)

The light

At the end of the tunnel

A train coming towards you?

Or perhaps

Salvation.

Nothing on

Nothing on (6 October 2014)

There's nothing on the TV

The radio is quite dull

So I'm sitting at my laptop

Writing a poem

Just for you.

Empathy

Empathy (6 October 2014)

Feeling another's pain

Wishing it away

So they can be happy again

Letting them know

You are there by their side

In body and mind

So they are never alone

You are always at hand

In fact or by phone.

Danger

Danger (4 October 2014)

Danger of death

The sign says

A warning

To the adventurous

Or foolhardy ones

Who would climb up

Past the coil of barbed wire

To be flung back down

Dead.

Rain

Rain (4 October 2014)

It pours down

Onto streets for many weeks dry

Drains gurgle as they swallow

The rain

From a lowering sky

 

 

 

 

The Waves

The Waves (3 October 2014)

The rolling, roiling waves

Tumble onto a sandy shore

Under a steel grey sky

Against a strong west wind

In the autumn

Of the year.
