That’s one and a bit;
Will you cut it into five?
And don’t fight
If they’re not all alike.

His is a world of noise
the cacophony
the downtown scene
walking from the train to
the overgrown obelisk with
windows running up all eighteen floors
blaring taxis, screeching brakes
buses . . .

The noise of the world
Almost deafens my ears
The hateful outcries
The wailing, the tears
The dashing of hope
As it falls to the ground
They say there is change
But then I look around . . .

Never thunk a thought be lost
You gave away a pen’orth and it’s nowt comes back . . .

Sparkling water, cascades from the fountain
White ginger blossoms gesture in night air
Copper pennies reflect on the bottom

A sunny springboard that money,
To hit a work as legendary,
And emerge winner bubbling
with self-belief !
What is that call's dream... . . .

Mint extract next to the vanilla in the spice rack
Chips in the pantry, eggs in the fridge
He'd been elsewhere mentally while shopping too

The rain's about to start and you must stay dry

This penny wedged between the window sill and pane
Has been painted over twice.
I can tell because the paint's chipped and I see
Two layers: pink then minty green.
No one has . . .

If noted, the words application in separation
mangal- means “Auspicious” and
random thoughts bring for ‘war’
denoting both . . .

Tuesday’s child is full of grace
She wears the lace white skirt
In church she fiddles fidgets
Whistles words where children
Should be seen not heard
And chocolate on her face . . .
