Welcome to my website. Here you will find an eclectic collection of Haiku , MicroPoems longer Poems and some Flash Fiction .
Thank you for visiting – please come back again.
I hope to update fairly regularly, please see Posts on the right hand side of this screen.
This is all new to me, so let’s take this ride together and see where we go.
Sorry for the lack of updating recently. I’ve been concentrating on my poems for children which can be found on www.charley-elbow.co.uk and launching my new book Small Feats and Tall Tales
I’ve also published Together We’ll See ,
Drag Exhausted from lack of sleep Begging for peace and quiet My mind is dragging its feet Each step a mighty effort

Paper Thin Skin Their paper thin skin
Decorated with purple
From everyday living
Ma can’t feel the street
Under her feet any more
Won’t wear short sleeves
Fearing folk thinking
Pop’s beating her up
He’s not
Stubbornness and love
Keep them going

Tapestry Gazing at night skies
So much wonder to behold
Tapestry of lights

Copper Kettle Copper kettle
Testing your mettle
Metal detectorists
Down on the sand
Under the copper moon

Midnight Skies Held on gentle wings
Caressing the midnight skies
Starlight guides her way

Was I a Dragon? I was a dragon
In furious fiery glory
In a previous life
Or was I the King
With a beautiful wife
Or a bold knight of old
With flashing blade
On my trusty steed
Protecting my Queen
Paying no heed to danger
It’s so hard to tell….
No- not memories of the past
Or oft-told stories I hear
But whispering echoes
Of all the spells I’ve cast

Last Rose of Autumn She was his last rose
Of autumn
She carries him
On spider-spun wings
Through his long winter
And all that it brings
The time will come too
That she’ll carry him through
His eternal spring

Windows Windows to the world
Frosted by deep loneliness
Blurring the colours

Doors The Cheshire Cat
And the Mad Hatter
Got together
For a jolly good natter
One took the ladder
The other floated
The Cat wearing
His famous grin
Politely enquired
“Shall we go in?”
“No, no,” cried the hatter
“Surely you must know
That’s not what doors are for”

Dreams Dying She lay in her bed and cried
For all of her dreams that had died
What she didn’t know then
Is that this created the space
In which her new dreams could grow

Hidden Plaintive owl cries
Have unnerved him
Awakened something
Hidden deep within
Tugging at something
He’d forgotten somehow
Or something he
Doesn’t yet know

Shakedown *whisper*
I don’t really know
What a shakedown is
Or where I’d go
To get one
Is it something you buy
Or something to try
Do you see it
Reveal it
Or feel it
Drink it or think it
Do you do it
Or have it done
Or is life better
Without one

Lives begin
Lives end
Lives change forever
In the blink
Of a butterfly’s wing

Sitting on the Moon I sit on the moon
Just to hear the tune she sings
Silver lullaby

She Left She left without warning
On Tuesday morning
Leaving a brief note
On which she wrote
She’d miss his strong arms
The ones that carried her
Into their home years ago
But not his busy fists
That meant that others
Had to carry her out

He Carries He carries notepaper, quill

Constancy Profoundly lonely
Since losing his beautiful bride
He needs to go down to the sea
It provides him constancy
That missing heartbeat
Of his own dear Constance by his side
