My Sweet Bird...3WW

they said he went beyond the pale
my naughty little bird
they said he doused the blog in ale
that naughty little bird
so i emailed him a letter
to tell him they were wrong
to keep his pecker up
show the world that he is strong
they were hailing him one day
ditching him before long
wev'e all read that famous story
written  in  times before
and now that Easter's coming
it will be reinforced some more

Womens Day - March 8

i remember this
it was everywhere before
what was it all for

Haiku Heights For The weekend

time to hit the road
shimmery smile beams and joy
off we go again

turbo charged shimmer
flies along a wide highway
all to ourselves - wow

Three Word Wednesday

betty draper heaved and pondered
on how to deal with her pigeon fancier
neighbour

there was only one valid response
pigeon pie for dinner tonight

For The Weekend

Ravi Shankar 1920 - 2012

Haiku Heights

builders cracks, torn pants
enough to give one nightmares
sugar plumber fairies




a sugar daddy
good for comfortable life style
but not too much else

" let them eat cake" not so smart
a faux pas m'dear

For Valentines Day

3WW

it is cumbersome
to write a love poem
for valentines day
when i need to use
words like morbid
and rampage

well i just have
so i wish everyone
a happy valentines day
and if you cannot be
with the one you love
love the one you're with

A Spot of Ash On My Forehead!

Poetry Jam

a movie without fantales
torture
6 weeks to go
discipline
does not come
naturally
even with the years of training
still find it unbelievably hard
Self Indulgence
thy name is Rallentanda

Spooked

let it go shazza
they are only fingers
writing on a wall

Blush Red... Haiku Heights

i bury my face
in your beautiful flowers
intoxicating

he loves me-he loves
me not-he loves me- he loves
me not-oh well (sigh)

For The Weekend

Sydney Summer Evening

Friday night
just got back home
from a harbour swim
Wonderful
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmin of my mind

Thought For The Weekend ( if you have nothing better to think about:)

Australian fossils. Ediacaran fossils 530 million years ago thought by some scientists to be living on land rather than in the sea?

3WW

How embarrassing!
This pink hair is
in poor taste
What !... you mean they
are permanent ?
The joke has backfired
I will never get
Julia's job now
even with my new specs

Dverse

with all the best intentions
there are things broken
that can never be mended

trying to heal things
can add more misery to injury
let sleeping dogs lie

For The Weekend

sometimes a sad melody
in the heat of the late afternoon
casts long shadows across
the dying embers of the day
and you remember

you hear their gentle laughter
you remember their sweetness
their vulnerability their goodness
the veil of hurt
that bound them together

you wanted to save them
but you could not
you turned around and walked away
you saved yourself and
it broke your heart

Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit

what am i proud of?
the ability to laugh
and to be silly

no one is better
at being silly than I
oops-that may sound proud
