These are poetry drafts. I consider all my poetry in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts.

N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

Nature’s force

I saw nature’s force today
Bee on bee in motion
Smashing into the
Patio door then
A fist fight on the
stone floor
Neither happy with
Other not yealding
Tumbling into cracks
Between rugged slabs
Silence
Silence
Reappearing moments
Later
Small on large
Stillness
A fluttering of wings
Stillness
Lifting off apart
A meeting of two
Nature’s force
The Bee’s knees
Consummated

REMIND ME

I need someone to remind me
of the things I have forgotten
the lost and the treasured
the forests and
the meadows
the streams and
falling water
I need someone to remind me
that all is still there
waiting to be found

THEY STOOD AND FELL

They stood as Is

side by side

with waves approaching

shore in silence

fear ruling

momentarily gasping

for air

Battering waves

rising towers

God have mercy

crushing power

bringing down

wraths of daemons and

gods forgotten

leaving none

standing –

all fallen

IS IT WORTH IT?

Hours in preparation
dicing
chopping
weighing
slicing
Minutes to devour
munch
slurp
munch
slurp
munch
burp
Only the blood of the gods remain

SHADES OF FEAR

He often wonders of
the early years
was there badness lurking
shades of fear
was there someone there
bad in heart
wishing ill
for the boy
playing the
innocent part

As a wee little boy he
skipped around
hated cycling as much
as swimming along
the fish was caught
in early morn
grand father drunk
lies were told

The years went on
the skipping stopped
he started cycling and
swimming of sort
the grand father died but
the drinking of ale
escaping of life
continues today

ME WISH LUCK COME SOON

Me don’t understand why they don’t like me, me no lucky of women of twenty first century. Me tried to adjust, be modern so me set up Facebook page showing best sides. Nice me photo on page. Good resemblance, me use photoshop only little. Left ear not same as right ear so me copy invert paste on face. Look better. Lips now smaller, bad week scurvy. Skin tone little better after bruises removed, bad EB week with nose fall off, pasted another ear. +Blur.

Me met one. She look nice. Say me smell and goodbye, no kissy. Me not run after she as leg limp. I bath next time and no robe.

Me met two. She nice also. Me bath with spices. We talk, she say she is a he. I say no longer. He scream when me make her she again. Kissy her goodbye. She stay in alley.

Me met three. She not nice. Say me come with plague, bring bad luck. She say no more, and stay in alley. I not stay long, she turn cold fast and no stiffy long.

Me meet four later. Maybe marry this time. Alley small, me wish luck come soon.

THE OPPOSITE?

What is the opposite of a hang-up?

I used to say I had one

hang-up

but with time I added more

and more so now

I think I need

a word for the opposite

the last remaining

non-hang-up that I can

claim to be my trait

So what is the opposite of

a hang-up?
