He who pays the piper calls the tune
He who owns the camera owns the zoom
We used to make hay down in sunny Froome
While shepherds watched their flocks outside the town
Laughter is the antidote to loss
If you’re hurt then it’s ok to curse.
Many hands make lights work after dark
If you have a car, you need a park
If you die make sure that you are clean
All that’s well ends with a happy cheer
Many like to drown their guts in beer.
A bird in my hand nipped me with its beak
My bladder’s full so I must take a leak.
My clothes are cleaner than a Bishop’s Dream
If you meet one ,all you do is scream.
Day: August 24, 2016
I can’t stop getting it
I can’t stop getting it
The Radio Times,lost , unread.
The newspapers all writ with blood
I can’t stop getting it.
I get that you are gone for good
I get my tears may cause the flood
I can’t stop getting it.
The mustard, yellow, in its pot
For my taste, too wild and hot
I can’t stop getting it.
The cutlery I bought to cheer
Those new plates, the bottled beer
I can’t stop getting it.
You think I’m smart,
I have no heart?
I only like pure numbers cold,
Transcendental,undersold.
I write while sentences still dart
I write because we are apart
I can’t stop getting it
The LRB, Arthritis Care
The Oldie,Damart,what men wear.
The Guardian Weekly,Africa
Apartheid, Sharpeville.what you saw.
I can’t stop getting it.
I’ve got it all.I’ve got the warmth
I’ve got the memories of calm
I’ve got it all,and yet, and yet
I’ve got nothing,I’m bereft.
I can’t stop getting hit.
I can’t stop getting it.
Save me with your wit.
Your mobile features,not your phone,
The abject utterance of your groans
The trolley in the A & E
How you died , right next to me.
I held your hand and sang the psalms
You smiled at me ,at last you calmed
I can’t stop getting it
The groups of doctors just outside
Listening to me sing you right.
The nurses stopped ,like frozen film
That was heaven,not a prison
I can’t stop getting it.

Happy to do nothing,nothing seek
Rich deep silence brings pleasures unique
From peaceful green of trees where small birds hide.
The work within the mind may be complete
About our souls, we each must be discreet
Even to those who’re living by our sides
Rich deep silence brings pleasures unique
Happy to do nothing,nothing seek
Innocent as young,beloved bride
The work within the mind may be complete
Ignorant of Latin,Hebrew,Greek,
The heart needs no such learning to decide
Rich deep silence brings pleasures unique
I listen to the world around me speak
Underneath the turmoil,love’s alive
The work within the mind may be complete
In our society, sensitive means freak.
Yet, by our intuitions, we may guide
Rich deep silence brings pleasures unique
The work within the mind may be complete

How to make your poetry worse.Part 1
Write in form but make sure the lines don’t scan
Iambic pentameter
I love my love with all my human heart
I bake Dan apple tart
I love his wicked face and legs
I love to cook him loads of scrambled eggs
Use cliches as often as possible
CLICHED POP UP
Every cloud its silver lining has
Get your sheets white using mega Daz
Finders may be keepers in some lands
I keep my hair on with elastic bands.
Whiskas cat food’s quite enough for me
The cat eats all my dinner , while I wee
Remember not to roll on mossy banks
As rolling stones may gather on your flanks
I had a bird in my hands just the once
My parents looked at this and made me wince
They made my punishment fit my so called crime
So now I live free doing my own Time [jail in UK]
Too many cooks can spoil my broth today
For soup’s unsuitable in summer gay.
I’m marrying a clever maid who’s also sweet
Hermaphrodites can do it all and tweet
You may be cutie pie and like free love
But I prefer an owl to a soft dove
Yet love needs payment , even in the end
In the end is the beginning of the penned

When shadows fall and night begins again
When shadows fall and night begins again
When artificial light is all I have
I feel the grief of loss in biting pain
And by the evening ,energy is drained.
We list the memories of those we’ve loved
When shadows fall and night begins again
So like the moon ,my feelings wax and wane
And sunlight does not fall from far above
I feel the grief of loss in biting pains
When no words seem appropriate to explain
The river rushes fast, but I’ve no boat
When shadows fall and night begins again
At least I do not look for who to blame
But wish to live surrounded by a moat
I feel the grief of loss in biting pains
A premonition warned me of what came
And down I sank forgetting how to float
When shadows fall and night begins again
I feel the grief of loss in biting pain

Did You Know?
The meaning of insinuate is similar to that of another verb, suggest. Whether you suggest or insinuate something, you are conveying an idea indirectly. But although these two words share the same basic meaning, each gets the idea across in a different way. When you suggest something, you put it into the mind by associating it with other ideas, desires, or thoughts. You might say, for example, that a book’s title suggests what the story is about. The word insinuate, on the other hand, usually includes a sense that the idea being conveyed is unpleasant, or that it is being passed along in a sly or underhanded way (“She insinuated that I cheated”).
