When A Young Lady Sitting On A Cushion

When a young lady sitting on a cushion

Said, “we need to have a serious discussion”.

I said, “that’s fine.

Have some more wine.

And I will join you on your cushion!”.

Forbidden Pleasures

Dark horses.

Overstretched police forces.

Unenforceable measures.

Household’s secret pleasures.

Criminals run amok.

Police on doors knock

(Probably not),

To enforce

What,

Of course

Can not

Be enforced.

Book review – Light and Shade (Spoiler Free)

I was pleased to receive this review of my book, “Light and Shade: Serious (and Not So Serious) Poems”.

Robin LeeAnn

“It’s easy to write / of eternal night / and to compose / flowery verses / about one’s mortality / but many a poet curses / the reality / behind his poetry.”

K. Morris runs a blog that I follow all the time, so of course I had to read...

To A Departed Dog (Dedicated To Trigger)

Sometimes I see

You in front of me,

Or imagine you at

My side. I

Go to pat

You under the table,

Where you so often sat.

I am not able.

You are not coming back.

In A Dream She Undresses

In a dream she undresses.

Gives absent caresses.

There is no right or wrong,

Just the most ancient of song.

And man’s fear of dust,

Unsatiated by lust.

A Young Lady Of Some Considerable Discretion

A young lady of some considerable discretion

Works in the most ancient of profession.

Just the other evening,

The vicar was leaving.

But no, I must show more discretion!

Last Night I met 2 Young Women

Last night I met 2 young women

Who said, “we love to go sinning”.

But, my hair being grey

They found some other play.

Those wicked, and most unfeeling young women!

Pick Your Fights Wisely My Friend

Pick your fights wisely my friend.

You may pretend

That you can stop the clock.

Of course, you may

The clock’s hands stay,

Or mock time

In a rhyme.

But, in the end

Your inner clock

Will stop,

My friend.

When My Friend, Whose Name Is Guy

When my friend, whose name is Guy

Said, “I never will tell a lie!”

A lady called Miss Nell

Said, “that’s all very well,

But we’re employing you as a spy!”.
