Book avalanche ….

I once had one book.

That wasn’t enough,

Then I had two

One too few?

So I got three

Which I read in a tree.

Soon I had four

How many more?

Five or six, a feast

No seven at least,

Enough for a shelf?

With my twelfth….

Once I had forty

I felt rather naughty.

Just a few more

Came through the door…

Once I read paperbacks

Now I’m on hardbacks,

My addiction is growing,

The books they are flowing.

Trying to count ’em

How can I stop them?

Over one Thousand?…..

No space for me and

My cats.. .

An irritation has infected:

Computer error!!!

Lots of things inspire me. The mother of pearl colours in a mussel shell interested me. Could it grow a pearl? Is it only oysters that grow them?

Mussel shell, mussel shell

Is a pearl growing there?

Does the grit you spit

Make a sand orb that shines?

Mussel shell, what muscle makes you

Grow a seed of shiny

Mother of pearl?

You are clamming up on me!

Where did she go?

Eyes

Here’s looking at you kid,

The eyes seemed to say,

Like a surreal spider

With multiple eyes.

Don’t fear me

I seem to hear them

You will understand

one day.

I smell a surprise

Sniffed out I see

By my old eyes

And a new view.

Ice like feathers,

ice like blood,

ice poured over the bonnet of a car.

Jack Frosts finger nails have skittered across

Leaving their trail of frozen air.

Ice leaps over

ice slips on,

Ice is strong till it is fractured.

Warm air makes ice wet, clammy, then it melts.

Jack Frost,

Dream maker,

gone.

Finding poetry

Up until a couple of years ago I didn’t write poems. Then I came here and decided to have ago.

One way of generating words is to write a short sentence then hit the middle key of the suggested words in the spellchecker. Occasionally you have to try a few times if it comes up with a symbol or something completely unusable. Sometimes you get interesting results:

A found poem on my tablet,

what do I think,

So why was it fished?

if feathers cut

So why add sound?

So if typing

I’m The drawing

The quality commission,

The drawing was created

this was very sad

So what happens in the fridge?

I know this completely bonkers but I enjoy the surreality of it. X

Clouds in Wales

Bars of clouds ascend on high.

Coloured lights paint the sky

How I wish I could return,

to that land of woods and fern.

Mountains high

and valleys deep,

Singers from the Mines and Steel.

Workers with their hands and feet

Love their land through wake and sleep.

I can only look from far

Wishing always to be there.

Welsh by ancestors alone,

Looking cross the border land

Perhaps one day I will lie

Between the earth and cloud barred sky.

I haven’t slept

He keeps me awake

When he mutters

All the time

In his sleep .

I am cracking

My mind is numb

Except for an ache behind my eyes.

My dry eyes

Tired out

Quiet

That’s what I need…..

Sleep

I’m using my tablet so I can draw in sketcher free which allows you to draw flowing spiralling lines.

Is she singing ?

Or listening to birdsong?

Will it fly,

Or has it landed

I the wind is streaming,

Or she is running?

You decide…..
