Immigrasi

3WW...behave jettison mob

thinking poetry
in the immigration queue
not a good idea

don't behave this way
drawing too much attention
haiku not worth it

your cut glass English
will not fit well with the mob
jettison grammar

L'Etranger



Some said she was kind
Some said she was beautiful
Some said she was clever
Some said she was funny
Some said she was interesting
And yet
She remained alone and unloved
encased in a prism of mirrors
Her fate sealed

Le Magicien

3WW shallow hollow misery

at least
there is
nothing hollow
or shallow
about le magicien

his thrust and parry
slices razor sharp
running one through like onion rings
making nurse misery
look like mary poppins

no-one could possibly like him
except me
please keep safe
i know you will never leave me

new beauty
heart stoppers

new problems
plenty

What the #%*+
am I doing?

Microscopic Poetry

3WW...impetus solace vindication

love is the impetus
solace the aftermath
vindication invariably follows

I drank so much wine
to try to muster courage
to get hitched to you

Black




Black Black Black
is the shadow
standing in the waves
watching me

Black Black Black
is the mood
of my sad bucket
who loves me

Black Black Black
is the colour
of my true love's hair

3WW....jerk puncture carnage

if i see you alone
carnage will follow
my ego is punctured
my soul in tatters
you behaved like a jerk

Spring



And now that I'm free
to enjoy your gorgeousness
I have to leave you

I don't want to leave
but I'm being sensible
just once for a change

I will miss you
