SHADORMA
thankfully
ghosts do not feature
in my life
hard enough
to endure life's misfortunes
don't need spooks as well

CINQUAIN
clever
is the woman
who writes a kimo poem
waves to her from across the sea
hi there
SHADORMA
tea for two
in a warm study
sipping tea
they ate cake
enjoying these afternoons
in the cold winter
how high the moon?
not high enough
to keep earthlings away
we have seen what you have done
to earth
bugger off
fly me to the moon
no way
keep away
you have created
so much space junk
enough already
leave the moon alone
allow the moon to enjoy
peace and harmony
the other planets also
stop destroying everything
dreary rhetoric
can't possibly guess
who this weird cerebrally
challenged fraudster is
well someone tried to shoot him
missed and now he's a hero
SHADORMA
walk away
unlike poor lot's wife
don't look back
start afresh
remove toxins from your life
it is far too short
yes you do
you are generous
with your love
don't accept
bad treatment from anyone
includes family
in the war
his job
was to read letters
to the soldiers
who were illiterate
he said
the dear john ones
were the worse
the war
wasn't only bullets
