SUNDAYS WITH RALL # 8

<

 a contented cat

puss knows his place in the sun

squashing the pansies 

not pushing up daisies


hard to adapt

to the new age of

tech torture

oh well

there's always tea

and a hug



wunderkind of the past

we all get old 

artists do it better



you don't need a canvas

to create a masterpiece

an old tin shed will do 

a few paints

and a free afternoon



the rituals

of courting have changed

the new age

does it differently



he is not thinking

shall i compare thee to a summers day

au contraire

he is not thinking at all 

 

an apple ?

wouldn't go down well

these days

a new car or jewellery perhaps 

diamonds are a girl's best friend now


knight in the true sense

devoted to saving the insects and animal species

of this very troubled planet



POETS and STORY TELLERS UNITED
