Reading poetry in bed
My youthful ideals fed.
A half-desire
For Kipling’s empire.
But sometimes I read
His Recessional in bed.

Louise and Bess
My friend whose name is Louise
Is known as a terrible tease.
Her best mate Bess
Will usually say yes,
But Louise is a terrible tease …!
I Once Had a Lover Named Moon
I once had a lover named Moon
Who, on swallowing a very large balloon,
Said, “I have such a thirst!
That I fear I shall burst!”
It was over too soon with Moon
An Ordinary Saturday
On my way
To eat breakfast
In a café
On an ordinary
Saturday, I heard birds.
While in Ukraine’s Kiev
Birdsong was drowned
Out by bombs.
(I stand with Ukraine)
When a Young Man in a Hurry
When a young man in a hurry
Fell into a big pit of slurry,
A chef named Jeff
Said to Miss Beth,
“Do hurry and serve him that curry!”
When a Young Man Named Mark
When a young man named Mark
Said, “go and clean this park!”
A girl called Gale
Grabbed a large pail
Which she emptied all over Mark!
Anticipation
A girl’s bare
Arms. The charms
Of scented hair.
Her leg
Touching mine
Is divine.
But I know
That in bed
Its often so-so.
Here’s how you can help the people of Ukraine : NPR
Several organizations are asking for assistance in helping people affected by the Russian invasion.
When I Looked Under My Big Bed
When I looked under my big bed
I saw a young lady in red.
I said to her, “Claire!
What are you doing there!”
She said, “I fell out of bed!”
Russia Invades Ukraine: An Act of War By A Dictatorship
I agree completely with the views expressed in this post. I stand with the people of Ukraine against the unprovoked aggression of Vladimir Putin.
Its instructive to note that many of the apologists for Russia’s aggression in Ukraine come from the far-left or the far-right of the political spectrum. Communists and fascists are equally detestable and the ideology of Putin draws on both political traditions.
I try very hard to stay away from politics in my blog. I attempt to deal with writing and creativity, but some events demand that writers speak out.
Russia, led by Putin, has invaded Ukraine, a sovereign nation and is conducting war against that country. Additionally, some in the U.S.A. are actively supporting Putin, and that is horrifying. How can an American support the actions of a Fascist dictator against another country? Have we forgotten the Soviet Union, and have we ceased to remember the actions of Hitler?
I am not calling for America to go to war, but everything that can be done to stop and/or punish Russia for this craven attack on Ukraine must be done. Americans need to cease using this as a political football to attack the other party–that is unconscionable and utterly devoid of morality.
I fear for the lives on innocent people in Ukraine…
