Blink

Lives begin

Lives end

Lives change forever

In the blink

Of a butterfly’s wing

Gum

Sticking beside him

Like gum underneath his shoes

Misguided limpet

Family

Posted onApril 21, 2018June 4, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

If you met your family

Far from home

And didn’t already know them

Do you think

You’d like them enough

To ask them out for a drink?

Chocolate and TV

Posted onApril 21, 2018May 24, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Here am I missing out again

Trying to pretend I’m not in pain

Hiding it under the chocs and tv

As my love sings for others,

Not me

Kitten

The bewildered kitten frantically
Searched through YouTube for some
Attainable role models

Suppress Emotions

Posted onApril 20, 2018May 25, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

I’m struggling to process

That my chronic illness

Reacts very strongly

To stress

Chaos? Breathe

Posted onApril 20, 2018June 3, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Chaos reigns these days

Change all settings to default

Relax, breathe again

Poet’s Heart

Posted onApril 18, 2018June 1, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

On the surface

You’d never think

In my heart

There’s a poet

‘cos verbally

Words rarely

Come out right

Bully

I am at a loss

To describe my old boss

Reading

Posted onApril 17, 2018June 5, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

I can only read in bed

Cos of my dizzy head

The pillow helps somehow

Either/Or

Posted onApril 17, 2018May 27, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Why either/or

Why the need

To be so sure

You have your theories, beliefs

I have mine

Sometimes they may intertwine

An open mind

Wonders

Discovers

To Rhyme Or Not To Rhyme

Posted onApril 16, 2018May 20, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

My English teacher Dave

For whom I sometimes behaved

Said “poetry does not need to rhyme”.

The Pendulum

Posted onApril 14, 2018May 19, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Their casual lack of care

Shocks her again

Rocks her

Birdsong

Posted onApril 14, 2018May 19, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Between the sweet sounds

Of birdsong lingers yearning

For spring’s renewal

Try to float

Along the river of life

Family Buffet

The joys of a two family buffet

Onslaught

Five types of vertigo

Sat on a bench

A break in a walk

Singing Kettle

Posted onApril 7, 2018May 19, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

The insistent whistle

From the singing kettle

Atop the log burner stove

Remora’s Remorse

Posted onApril 7, 2018May 18, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

I’ve been called a sucker many times
In the literal sense of the word
I attach myself to sharks and ships

Purple

Posted onApril 2, 2018May 18, 2018AuthorMoon Biscuit

Feeling rather blue

She paints inside her head red

Purple uplifts her
