Frozen; staying warm under the duvet like a piglet in a muddy blanket.

NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 7
Showers
Shower me with shiny things
– with gold and silver
Shower me with goodies
– chocolate and wine
Shower me with e-trinkets
– phones, tablets, PCs
I’ll stay under my umbrella… ella… ella
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Shower me with the rain
I’ll weather the storm
Dance naked on the grass
Feel the dew between my toes
Forever yours
Hey! Hey! Hey!
NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 6
If
If only the world was flat
If only the skies were green
Are ifs for fools
to break the rules
and change the way things seem?
NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 5
The impossible dream
Cry your unbearable sorrow
Smile your incredible smile
Dream the impossible dream
Open your mind, look around
Close your eyes for a while
Cry your unbearable sorrow
Lightly tread; make no sound
Heavy heart from the trial
Dream the impossible dream
Run wild your ship aground
Walk softly down the aisle
Cry your unbearable sorry
High time to be crowned
Low beginnings to greater style
Cry your unbearable sorrow
Dream the impossible dream

Sadness
Finger presses gently
Single teardrop falls
‘Unfriend’

NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 2
Unanswered
Whispering winds wake the trees from their slumbers
Limbs stretch, dancing to sweet melodies
White clouds form and glide across pastel skies
Time passes, white turns to grey
…. to black
Winds from whispers
…….. to cries
Melodies
………… to crashing symphonies
Dances
…………….. to graceless thrashing
A creak
A split
There’s nobody around
What is this sound?
NaPoWriMo 2019 – Day 1
Disinstruction
Don’t look up!
But… the stars
Don’t look down!
But… the flowers
Stand steady or all in a spin
The simplest joys but a whisker away
S.A.D.
Dark days
Dark thoughts
Missing the sun ☀️
No Matter (The Sock Song)
For today…
Williamleeone asked: “Have you seen my sock?”
I reply with the lyrics of a song I wrote a couple of years ago for a prompt, “Science”. I’ve never given it a chorus, and I’ll let the reader decide if it stands alone as a poem.
Matter doesn’t matter much to me
I’d rather look at stuff that I can’t see
And whilst this may seem like a paradox
It could explain what happened to my socks
Everything is in superposition
Neither here nor there until volition
And when you look it all snaps into place
Instead of hanging out in outer space
Nothing is the matter you might think
Your table, chairs, your cooker, kitchen sink
Empty space, mostly, all of that
Even you, your dog, your hamster, cat
Some days, when I choose to entertain
Assuming that my guests have half a brain
I’ll feed their minds with Schrödinger…
