EXAGGERATIONS…..
Outside, there blows a freezing wind
and brings the South pole closer home.
I fancy polar creatures roam
at intersections, public places,
where people rush with frosty faces
past penguins and seals in masses
who stare at them with frozen asses
as they pursue their daily chore,
so frozen deep down to their core.

FLOOD RESCUE
THE SWIRLING WATERS AROUND HIM SHOW
NO HOPE FOR THE LITTLE BOY.
HE LOOKS AHEAD AND STROKING SLOW
HIS CLINGING PUP, SO COY.
HIS TREMBLING BODY SOAKED AND COLD
THE THIN, PALE, LIPS THEY PRAY;
HIS BELOVED GRAN SO SICK AND OLD
WAS CARRIED AWAY BY THE SPRAY.
THE WATERS, THEY TUCK AND PULL AND TRY
TO TAKE HIM AS WELL AND HIS DOG
HE LOOKS AROUND IN A FAREWELL SIGH
WHEN A SPEED BOAD DASHES ALONG.
BRAVE PEOPLE ARE SAVING HIM, HIS PUP
THE ONLY ONES LEFT OF THE FAM’LY,
CORDED STRONG ARMS, THEY LIFT HIM UP
AND OFF THEY SPEED HIMTO SAFETY!
YOU HEROES, WHO RECUE LIVES , BE PRAISED
AS YOU RISK SO MUCH BY YOUR EFFORT;
WHEN FEAR, DREAD AND DESPAIR IS RAISED
YOUR REWARD WILL COME FROM THE LORD.

MY FLOWERS GROW IN BRIGHTEST HUE…..
MY FLOWERS GROW IN BRIGHTEST HUE
SWEET-SCENTING IN THE MORNING DEW,
WITH BEES THAT VISIT AND ENJOY THEIR OFF’RING
AND MOTHER BIRDS THAT GUIDE THEIR OFF-SPRING
THEY STALK AROUND AND SHOW THEIR CARE
AND POINT TO FOOD, THEIR CHICKEN’S FARE.
A GENTLE BREEZE KEEPS WAFTING THROUGH
SWAYS FLOWERS GENTLY TO AND FRO.
WITH MIND AND BODY GREATLY OVERWHELMED
A GRATEFUL PRAYER TO MY DEAR GOD IS HELD
FOR HIS CREATION, FOR FLOWERS SO BRIGHT
FOR CREATURES, ALL IN THE SUNNIEST LIGHT.

THEY SAY IT'S IN MY OWN INTEREST.....
Synthesised voices and piped music alone,
They seem to fill now the telephone.
Lines are listened into by someone – who knows?
Big brother is watching,
that clearly shows.
They say it’s in my own interest…..
Speed cameras and infrared beams
Observe all my driving, it seems.
Did I incur an infringement,
In my morning mail it is sent.
They say it’s in my own interest…..
Phoneing for service I’m greeted
By a person at an overseas switchboard seated,
Assisting me with efficiency,
Courtesy and alarcrity.
They say it’s in my own interest…..

FRIEND, THE WORLD IS GREY NOW........
Friend, the world is grey now,
so sudden, overnight.
The joys, intensely thought now
are for us out of sight!
Friend, you feel alone now,
lonely and so cold,
I think we are at end now,
aged, so sick and old.
Friend what is to do now,
we've lived a life so bold,
we've reached for all success now
and find that we're now old.
Friend it is a dream now,
the life we've lived of old.
Mem'ries fade, they do so now
and soon we will be cold!
May I invite you to leave a comment?
