Celebrate, lets.
#fisherywharf, #haibun, #haiku, #dversepoetspoets.


Tin for ten. Oh yes not quite silver. Ten years of the Fishery Wharf café. The very place where I learnt to share my words, my poetry. Invited I have been to participate in a celebration poetry slam, my first. So, participate I shall, I shall.

Canal side party,
Within natures corridor,
Celebrate the day.

no fish (e)#q228

Quadrille # 228

No fish (e) #Q228.
#qudrille, #berkhampsteadpoetrysociety.

Fill up,             Fill up,
Fill up on, fill up on,
Wild, wild, wild
Fish,
Day in, day out,
Filling my stomach,
But not tomorrow morning,
Barracuda and carp haunt my night,
Groggy morning down am I,
Bad day, bad day,
Without fish,
No,
Fish.

Tonight’s Quadrille @ #dversepoetrypub asked us t use the word fish. i am also a member of the Berkhamsted poetry society who have asked it’s member to write a poem without using the letter “E” so fish(E) was born.

sweet dreams.

Who has a sweet-tooth?

Sweet dreams.

The milky way is my sweet shop,

Poggled* shelves fully loaded,
With,
Skittle Stars from candy floss nebular.

The starship Twix hunting,
The snickers galaxy,
For the captains kit-kat,
Lost when we starburst away from,
The dull-drumsticks into,
Sweet dreams.

*poggled the art of seeing something new about something or somewhere you have known for years. Like an old scar on a familiar face.

I dream

. . . the sun’ll come up . . .

I dream.

#quadrille, #dversepoetspub, #antiwar

Melancholy dreams darken my heart,
Fractured sunrises over war torn lands.

Fractured sunrises forever.

Belief of the greedy weapons dealers,
Propaganda selling arms as peace keepers.

Peace never reached.

Fractured dreams of peace and love,
Melancholy sunrises over promised cease fires.

Never being realised.

A quiet poet.
#quadrille, #dversepoetrypub, #antiwar,

Load, load, load up the quiet,
Before your words take flight.

Listen, listen, listen to others loud,
Before your words fight back.

Heal, heal, heal in natures warmth,
Before your words lose meaning.

Watch, watch, watch others war propaganda,
Use your poems for peace.
