Love

They chat in a pub
About relations
And love
About splitting
And connecting
About attraction
And separation
About why do
They love
And why do they
Split
About ending
And starting
About love.

A Summer day

The rain is falling this Summer day
Soaking the world below the clouds
I wonder if it will go away
And cease to drench the crowds
Who slowly make their way
To work or play hoping for the sun
To shine as it should on a Summer day.

Social Media

Social Media
On Twitter and Facebook and Google plus
We lay open ourselves to the world
I wonder sometimes if it’s worth all the fuss
To let people into our lives
We Tweet when we’re drunk
And DM in a funk
Annoying the folks that we like
There are times when we should
Just shut up and be good
And keep our thoughts in our minds

It's Sunday and I'm writing poems.

The Tale Begins
‘It was a dark and stormy night’
So the tale begins
The prelude to a fiction
Leading the reader
Into a world of mystery and Intrigue
From which there is no escape
Until the final page is turned
And the sun comes up

A poem about a house

The House
It was a lonely house
Standing sad and neglected
Like a single tooth in an otherwise
Empty Mouth
No joy emanated from its silent walls
A gloom hung over it
Smothering anyone who encountered it
Many did, but there was no welcome here
It’s in the past now
Happier abodes beckoned
The residents moved on to happier lives
And the house?
Who knows or even cares.

The Moustache



The Moustache

The moustache is an amazing thing
Below your nose and above your chin
It gets in your soup
And it gets in your gin
The Moustache
Is
An amazing
Thing

5 more years

So the Tories won the election. 5 more years of misguided austerity are staring us in the face. I'm not sure the people of this country can stand such a prospect.  All I hope is that the opposition can regroup and get them out next election and that the damage they are doing can be rectified.
Until then it's time to hunker down and hope to ride out the storm.
Nothing else to say. Peace and Love, ttfn x
