They  move with ease the body, say the Mass

Feelings need geometry to form
Not to spill like water  from dropped glass
Feelings   running wild may do great harm

Yet inhibition,tense lacks any charm
Love and hate  need ritual,compass
Feelings need geometry to form

Ballerinas, skaters   melt their bones
They  move with ease the body, say the Mass
Feelings   running wild may do great harm

Will power  out of place  can cause alarm
Create tensions,  acts  so evil,crass
Feelings  by geometry inform

Restraint and sculpting, waiting  through impasse
Like  Jesus gives up all upon his Cross
Feelings   running wild may do great harm

 

Here we find the rhythm and the task
We feel the rawness; feel  the  utter risk
Feelings need geometry  and form
Feelings  like wild bulls   can do us   harm

 

Free associating in E minor.

I once knew a lady called Jane,
Who found writing poems a pain.
She took out her pen,
And tried to write when
All the fuses blew out in her brain.


Jane’s had her head disconnected,
Until all the electric’s been inspected.
So she lies on her recliner,
Free associating in E minor.
I wonder how her Unconscious’s directed?


Jane studied  mirrors and magnets.
She’s always been well versed in gadgets.
But to do it to yourself,
Is not good for your health.
You need to pay Freud for some magic,

Life is a patterned weave.

Some days are sad and blue
And then we feel lonely too;
Or we cause rifts.

Some days are doldrum days.
Some days are like bad plays.
Not such a gift.

Most days have joyful parts.
Most days we lift our hearts.
They pass all too swift.

Some days love speaks to me.
Some days I feel so free.
I love my craft.

Life is a patterned weave.
Love helps us when we grieve.
Love is a raft.

See how the sun comes back.
See how light fills the gaps..
Some days we laugh.

Weep now and I’ll weep with you.
I have known sorrow too.
Yet sorrow will pass.


Joy is not far away.
Joy will return one day
With life’s arts and crafts

In  this erratic summer , heat and flood

In these dead leaves I slept alone and sad
I wandered as if searching for a child
But now the summer’s here to make us glad

Nothing’s static, be it good or bad
Some like cities some live in the wilds
Where in dead leaves I slept alone and sad

Like green leaves where sap  has turned to blood
The remnants of the  plants   lie waste, defiled
In  this erratic summer , heat and flood

The woods dry out, the cornfields turn to mud
Frogs are happy by the damp beguiled
I wandered by dry leaves , their message read

Who is British, who should be exiled?
Boris Johnson,PM,AM riled
In  this erratic Kingdom , heat and flood

Where did Mona Lisa find her smile?
Who paints in their dream  the image kind?
In these dead leaves I slept  forlorn and sad

But now the summer’s here  my heart beats  glad

It enticles my canticles to eat chocolate panticles.

I have always liked”Jabberwocky ” and other of Carroll’s work,and wondered how he wrote it.
Similarly with Edward Lear.
I wasn’t planning to imitate them.[Or even to have an imi-tete a tete with them]
But after playing with the word “impersonate” and making up words like “imfelixator”
and after a while I got in this other mode.I think it is better if it is read out loud


It enticles my canticles to eat chocolate panticles.
It deflubs my joicicles to ride twenty cobrimmed bicycles.
It inflammates my twesticlites to plead with guesstimiates.
It defibrilatees mt twenty costaring ladycles,
And playmobile entereations.
I’ve been found guiltestimated and sentenced to be decivinalised,
And to spend fifty tears hearts with a Thesaurian’s bride,
The judge’s stays I have to go inside outicle
Until I discover a new three legged corimmed tribycle
