Hot out here, #quadrille.

Come Bloom With Me!!!
‘ot out here.
#quadrille.

Cider maker passes away,
Apple rapture, in summer’s heat.

“Blooming hell, its ‘ot out here!”

Derelict orchard, bramble invested,
Once cared for and loved.

“Blooming hell, its ‘ot out here!”

Apple tree blossoms swirl,
Non pollinated and sterile.

“Blooming hell, its ‘ot out here!”

Pick this #quadrille

Quadrille #245 – Writing Down the Bones
Pick this!
#quadrille, #anti-war,

I have a bone to pick,
One huge bone,
To pick with all you,
F£$*&^g war-mongers!


Killing innocence,
Lining you pockets with,
BLOOD MONEY!
Murdering,
Not in my name.



Love and peace accepted,
To be spread around thickly, 
Harmony, goodwill and  friendships,
PICK THIS!

#quadrille time again @ #dversepoetrypub. tonight’s word bone went straight to how I am feeling today.

the Banksy Tank painted in the Leake street Tunnels under waterloo
no more war. a Banksy painting.

silent heart

Shhhhhhh…….Quiet, Please!
Silent heart.
#quadrille, #dversepoetspub.

Worn out and tattered,
Emptied and used,
Abused.

Dilapidation set in long ago,
Threadbare and scuffed,
Molested.

Quietly hoping and praying,
Silent heart still beats,
Battered.

Silence it’s shield,
Protection from over loving,
Surviving.

Worn out and tattered,
Emptied and used,
Abused silent heart.

Thanks Lillian for such a provocative word for toady Quadrille for tonight’s season at the @#dversepoetspub.

Revolution #quadrille.

REVOLUTION. #QUADRILLE

#revolution


Tormented yes, living somebody else’s dream,
Bullied into dying for psychopath’s dream.

Why give psychopaths ruling power!

Love thy neighbours, till psychopath,
Orders you to destroy another’s home.

Revolution time, no more nations,
No more reasons for war,
Transform our thinking.

LET’S END BLOODSHED!

Bat Twitch #quadrille.

Bat twitch.

#quadrille.

The art of the darkness,
Twitches, shudders,
That splash of neon light.

Alive in the blackness,
Demanding Needs,
That splash of neon light.

Reaching from the darkness,
This frantic bat,
Twitching in pink neon.

Trying to fill this void,
Opaque Blackness,
Dressed up as neon.
