Dom

Have you heard of a dominatrix named Nicks

Who is known for her love of sticks?

If you ask how I know,

I heard it from Vicar Joe;

Who is known for his love of sticks …

Cold Birds

Standing in the cold park

I heard the birds

Sing in early January.

 

I will hear them in spring.

And think I see

Cold birds.

 

 

Yet I know that the  winter

Lives in me

And poets sing

Of what is true.

Dodgy

Whilst browsing a dodgy website

I encountered a young lady named White.

She came round to mine

And after much wine

I kissed that young lady good night …

Generation Z

I am dating a young lady from Gen Z

Who says that she is in love with me!

She calls me her honey

And thinks I have money.

So don’t tell her the truth about me …

 

A Memory

You padded around my flat

Silent as a cat.

 

 

I strain

To remember your name.

Then it comes back.

And I recall

You wanted something else

And I, wanted you,

And fell from grace.

 

A few years  later, you called my name

In the street

Were intimate strangers

By mischance meet.

 

 

You were no old flame.

Yet the memory remains

Of a girl, perhaps  half there.

And your friend in the street

Who knew it was true

But claimed a mistake

Had occurred.

 

 

Yet, I knew you –

A sleek black cat

Who lost her fur

In a gentleman’s flat.

Lethe

One day

I will cross the Styx

And drink of Lethe.

 

 

All our memories must decay.

But some succumb

To Lethe

Before they make their way

Over the Styx.

 

 

We grieve

For those who are here

Yet gone away.

And pray

That when we leave

We may

Recognise Charron.

 

Yet some who forget

Before they cross

Know not what

They have lost

 

More wine

When a young lady drinking my wine

Said, “your rhyme it is truly divine!”

I said to her, “miss,

Do give me a kiss!”

She said, “first give me more wine!”

The Poetic Old Goat

There once was a poetic old goat

Who went and swallowed a coat.

He said, “that was delicious!”

But the effects were pernicious,

As a button stuck in his throat!

Being Blind

Being blind I find

I can read and write in the dark.

I have some small sight

So  turn on the light at night

To prevent the stubbing of toes

And avoid

The stairs.

For, if I fall

All dreams and nightmares

May end

And eternal dark descend.

 

 

But the night

Will shut out the light

For us all

In the end

Whether we have blind eyes

Or otherwise.

My Muse

The desk is cold to my hand.

I can not command

My poetic muse.

So think of girls who lose their shoes,

And poets who

Say more than they ought to

Of women and wine

And men who may seem

To spend their time

In fleeting dreams.

 

But it is no crime

For a poetic muse

To lose

Her ethereal shoes.

Yet what can be said

Should she lay her fickle head

Upon the poet’s empty bed

Where love sleeps.

Or is dead.
