Full Moon

paddocks alight
the birds need eye masks
full moon tonight

full moon tonight
a cow moos the dog howls
rustle in the branches

Peace

delicious peace
a human entitlement
sadly not for all

Hermit Crab In Sea Glass

sighs and whispers
sea glass holds  many secrets
lying in rock pools

Mid Week Madness

their watching faces
french dogs do not sing like this
outback tourists cringe




wimpy french bull dog
no match for dinky dingo
love ballads indeed

God
kissed esther's hands
the first time she ran cloth
through her singer
treadle sewing machine

corsets
were going to be
her ticket to independence

living in a compact boarding house
jubilant at making some money
she squirreled away her savings
sewn lovingly into her quilt
year in year out

only to have it stolen by a cad
who neglected and lied to her

seized with loneliness
she ached for touch
sensed
her boss mr marks felt the same

how wrong can a seamstress be
...he recoiled from her

..colour is not contagious you know mr marks

i'm a jew  he said sadly... it's rabbinical law


(sigh!)
the walls
the rules
mankind creates
to block love
in our magnificently
constructed but fragile
house of cards

Haiku Noir

Hitchcock movie "Rebecca"

a dark shadow
mrs danvers in moonlight
guardian of secrets




watching and waiting
always know when he's around
she feels  his presence

The Office Christmas Party

if only
i could rustle up
some laughter
convolute this ghastly unease

just caught sight of myself in a mirror
i look like ingrid bergman in 'notorious'
with that lacteal pallor
grabbing onto a banister
about to convulse

dear god, dont tell me that bastard
has poisoned me to hasten my demise
or spiked my drinks

i do feel a little dizzy
could be too many vodkas
or having to dance with mitch
from the advertising dept
