Ok, not posted my poems for the last few days, so you get a mini selection in one fell swoop.
Didn't manage a golden shovel for Saturday but I did watch the pigeons for awhile...
Urban Vultures
In violently, cropped plane trees they sit.
Small, feather fluffed balls against the wind.
Awaiting from the square below
For folks to drop, their food on the go!
Few look up, to see the sight
Dark grey against the grey of sky.
Waiting patiently for their meal
They stare, intelligently across the field
Waiting for that single chance,
For the flocking hoard to advance.
On flapping wings, they descend
To the pavement. To peck away
Before a child runs through them all
And sets to flight, the hungry hoard. 5th April 2014
Sunday was a quiet, reflective day...
Outside my window,
Outside.
Bricks,
And open eyes of windows.
Into other lives.
Slates,
and roof bound aerials
To bring them tales,
And songs.
To make them forget, they are lonely.
To make them just belong. 6th April 2014
And today? A poem of love? Well I couldn't pick beer but as I stared at the blank page for inspiration...
My notebook.
Virgin white against the dark pen,
As I write
You glow with unspoken desire.
I love your patience,
As you wait for my thoughts to coalesce.
You taunt me with your blank pages,
And delight in the written word.
My notebook.
I love your spiral-bound wood pulp
That tempts me to imagine more than dreams.
I love you. 7th April 2014.
And to those of you who have been waiting for it, I finally have the link to Dragons on the Moon, the song Jennifer Jordan wrote based on a poem I wrote.
And I love it.
