Pantry Poem

Painting by Lee Kennedy

little miss wren
started out  centre stage
with a bright background
time went by and
she gradually slipped
to the bottom of the canvas
soon to disappear from sight
her song
but a memory

Thank you all for your kind comments

Things that Make Me Smile

i smile

at your comforting words

when you tell me to keep warm

that i have a place in your heart

that you care about me

and at the moment

this means more to me

than the bright blue sky

the white horses galloping across the sea

my beloved rock pools

even chocolate sponge cake

Mica Paris "My One Temptation" 1988

it was the year
of lonely train journeys
whistles and platforms
my world ripped apart


the  die was cast
all bridges burnt
with no choice
but to start again

months and years
merged into each other
it all became a distant memory
until i hear this song

a quivering
chocolate blancmange
beckons
winking provocatively

dont look
dont look back
turn the other cheek
look away
resist temptation

who wants an arse
the size
of a kardashian ocean liner

Weekly Scibblings # 28

thought i was seeing things
the dancing donald
geriatric genius
of faux pas
hits the stage

still cant believe
he happened
it happened
it's happening
in a few months time
could still be happening

unless someone pops a balloon
snaps their fingers and says
session's over
you can wake up now america
you have been living a bad dream
four years
enough already

Farewell Maestro Ennio Morricone 1928 - 2020




 News this week that Ennio Morricone, the composer of numerous timeless film scores, had died at the age of 91 was met with an outpouring of grief and tribute from the international film community. But that emotion also stretched well beyond the biz, as was evidenced at this week’s round of soccer fixtures in his native Italy.
