Summing Up

Dolmen

Moors roll, slow-tectonic screwed,

next just like one before

except for megalith here pitched.

No stone circle, henge, ditch,

but dolmen for passing rich

in wisdom, leadership and wind.

It stands, rock resting nest,

granite witness for the land.

Mocha Mock-Up

Plates and silver service piled,

captured faces, emulsified,

crockery, old crocks are gathered,

from tea party for ancestry.

Table’s clear, family laid out,

from past years, old visitors,

fathers, beverage for the soul,

syllabic, haiku in a cup.

Craft

As review our spending hours,

the costly lessons, learning hard,

delete them from our past

for leisure, rest, slacking part?

If so, read no further;

my harshest terms served, celebrate,

this through craft and heart;

if doing, worth, work well.

Aliens

‘Dinosaur Park’, laughable,

till shade around, invasion near.

They circled vast, curving spans,

vultures plotting ground-bound prey -

alien force, space was here.

We, carrion, landing zone,

winged fingers, pterodactyls slump;

then gathering gear, hang-gliders.

Zoo Rules

They ask me,

of those pearly gates

how God makes judgements

from his throne.

It’s too late then

for sentence passed -

that was back

when committed crime.

Bite

My meal means mouthful maelstrom,

strange sense, secretions by buds,

aromas acting as they should,

trigger to tingle under tongue,

sharp shooting zest meets test,

those first incisors, firebrand taste,

tandoori chicken, bite of breast.

In Fur

Ring, a ring of roses,

posies fail, ward off fleas -

it’s not sneezes, tissues, fall.

Plague’s about, rats roam free,

shiploads travelled down the plank -

of smugglers - stowaways infer,

snug bugs in rugs,

black yak hair stacks.

Summing Up My Double Think

Christmas crackers, crêpe hat, joke;

fireworks rarely do, stand clear.

Sofa surfing - homeless waves;

marrows sown is bonemeal grown.

Crowd funding surely rent-a-crowd;

book piles for burning, flammable.

Masonic circle on the square;

account PD - my balance nil.
