As gyroscope I do spin
Mass outside
Magna within
If top should melt before the bottom
And cause a wobble
Or all melting
Cause of topple
Then far more than cattle fart
Let no plane fly
Let no car start
Better far crash economic
Than result so catastrophic
But if this thought be ignorant and enigmatic
By careless thought to cause a panic
Then of course let discussion flow
But please not by interests held ready now
Best those who by intellect the facts can know
Month: February 2020
Elusive prey
On tow path take no high dudgeon
As Sunday walkers rough and ruddy of complexion
Approach, curse, dodge the tackle and walk on
Or canoeist’s to the pub do race
Not knowing drowsy anticipation
Of catching
Or harp on steady pull of stretched elastic
Or follow those caught rotating plastic
If both fresh and salt are all.
Then to the kin of this colour
Add one spirit as with another
This one fresh medium not of rhyming hue
But both unlike the rest
With Sino twice mentioned do attest
One game and no need of lying
When too large for pan frying
Two that rout any with the tackle
Succumbing gently to the tickle
or some like wheels turn and wriggle
Two with sea rod initially and singly link
Sounds transposed with mineral and sino link
You must not total net for satisfaction
But with malaprop or craft ensure deduction
So all that give us so such pleasure
The elusive number to ensure
for crossword puzzlers get number
Fishing
No longer ball small and white to make the round
Nor oval there: muddy on the ground
Just rod and line
So well suited at this time
THE SWIM
Make no reproach
as you there approach
for I am rather here
than anywhere
If any tine you join me here
Then this verse gives appreciation
Of much enjoyment by this addition
If I am lately gone from here
And you for comfort wander there
Or any of our favourite places
Then these few lines take through their paces
And for each good time or day
Let each moment happy wipe the tear away
Assuaged
And so grief is staged
- Despair depression had and have their day
- Family
- Friends
- Church service
- Help
- Yet nothing does
Denying and in my present dream
Soft kiss
So loving
So giving
Sometimes is all that keeps me going
No anger for me rather at when this kiss cannot prevent “I’ve had enough of this”
Here stomach tightening
loss of guilt
much more frightening
Only past bargains met by her so well
As so will I always tell
Aacceptance only just accepted
Total no longer claiming
Just in part remaining
On apt occasion wrenches back
To past joy of my persuasion
And having paid my due
Recalling love, humour, joy, déjà vu
