Mango Bubbles

The conception of bubbles
Mango masses
for ever

Forever bubbles that pop
and disappear into
old age

One-off bubbles
momentary

Did I dream them up?

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.

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! Copyright owned by Jay Cool , December 2018 Inspired by Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem,  'The Year' .

'Sitting at a laptop creates an image that I carry back.' (Jay Cool) A neck with a thousand folds. A bump harboured by an anxious nose. A line, puckered into peaks and troughs, of 48 years near gone. A thought. It is not me. Just an image. An image of another me in another time. Not me now. Now, I write myself into being - smoothing out the lines and carrying them over and back. Copyright owned by Jay Cool January 2019 Inspired by the line  'Sitting in a room creates a room that we carry with us.' (From  'Feel Piece 4' by Hannah Ensor and Laura Wetherington.)
