Holidays?Beauty is there

Where will I find true love?

God give me a sign,a dove

When will I stop feeling scared?

Will the truth finally be aired?

Echoes and ripples on the water

‘The musical rain’-Walt Whitman

‘In the calm and cool of the daybreak’-Walt Whitman

‘The echo of sunset’-Walt Whitman

The soothe of waves in the bedroom

Children

Sweet scented and growing

Christmas?

And all I peace

‘Tomatoes hanging like small red globes’-Gary Soto

In the dark of a closet

Secretly eating wotsits!

Rains of a thousand years

‘What fire shines inside her’-Gary Soto

‘A great sigh of steam’-Gary Soto

Cute boxed raisens

The nightclub

A fire,a glow inside

‘The orange wheel of heat’-Grace Paley

I am unconnected

Lord,save my soul

‘The evening star is a punctual gem’-Anon

Australia?

Bushes of that magic land?

‘Electric blossoms’-David Gascoyne

‘Flavours of childhood’-John Burnside

Dreaming of a distant land

Don’t know where

Come under the umbrella fern?

‘A cappaccino with the froth still on it,

A double sonnet’-Alan Jenkins

There shared spirit

There shared beliefs

An anchor forever

‘Gold onions rooted in the sky’-John Updike

Your position in the universe?!!!

‘The still-humming chords’-John Updike

A dawn good try

Office blooms

‘A lilac and cream and pink self-esteem’-John Updike

Life

You told me there would be many doors

You told me people would be loved and adored

But all I found were the sharpest claws

People being cruel and breaking laws

You told me I could travel the world

You told me I was the prettiest girl

But all I found were rotten pearls

Bathwater swallowing me as it swirled

You told me I would meet my prince

You told me I would find my province

But I hated having my hair rinsed

I hated people’s ‘fat hints’

You told me I would find someone good

You told me I would find a bud

But all I did was worry,and

Come home hurt and bloody

You told me music would be my quest

You told me I would be the best

But all I found was laughter and jest

My life was a teary mess

An awful test

You told me I would like school

You told me I would find a jewel

But all they said was I was uncool

Standing over-weight by the swimming pool

You told me God would look after me

You told me to invite my friends for tea

But I came home with scrapped knees

And unsightly bleeds

You told me to hold on to my dreams

Forget about those that were mean

So I just watched ‘The A Team’ and

Felt the sunbeam
