Unfathomable

Look into me and rejoice!

I am like nothing you have ever fathomed -

as sharp as a slosh of vodka, infused

with a wonky frown.

And there, from my core, gaze the bubbles of fizz;

eyeballs that squint through the haze,

as they hey-nonny-nonny out the depths of my tummy

flying fast into bullet-shot loon.

A New Year Queue

Image
Image courtesy of Pixabay.com How can I shout my thoughts to the world, when trapped in my passage is something unfurled? Christmas is over - that much is true, so why can't I shift, then, my arse off the loo? Year's not done - I must see the end - so where is the bog roll that should be my friend? With laughter, I rise - pants at my knees, but a blast of cold air, alas, makes me sneeze. How can I hobble - hunt down a roll - my knees stuck together by poo with no soul?  The New Year is here - that much is true, JUST CHUCK US SOME BOG ROLL, IF STUCK IN THE QUEUE!

Yellow Rose of Flanders

Image
From the soles of my walking shoes, I shake you out and  s c a t t e r you. In my sole, a part of you remains. I find a tool, dig you out, keep you close - potted and thriving, you grace my front door. Every day, on my return from work, you greet me. In the trenches of Flanders, you were grated into m i  l  l  i o n s of pieces, one of which, must surely have found me and brought itself back home to England. Your soul in my sole.

The Flood

Image
The floods are coming to mark an end to my break - to dream days in my terraced cabin. I heed the neighbour's warnings and move on out, lingering on wood-slatted patio - watching the last one leave. Still time, I think, to step back in - still time to gather up my things - my pencils, brushes and notebooks. Still time to float. Feet dangling, I sit on patio edge, dipping my toes into salty-water waves slapping. I'm floating. Copyright owned by Jay Cool Inspired by 'Portraitures & Erasures' by Chiwan Choi.
