15 YEARS OF BLOGGING POEMS

i know 

my reports

are hit & miss

like the coat on coat off
         coat on coat off
         coat on coat off
         english weather roulette

but 

this 

is 

a self employed position 

& 

i make my own hours 

&

the targets are fluid 

& 

the quality control watchdog 

is stretched out thinking 

nothing & nonsense

across the daytime bed

AS IT EVER WAS

no choice but 

to worry thru
these worry times

& 

leave sweet evidence

of gentle passing

like a smile

thats well timed

in the stress

of the world

or a drawing

for a child

& for the door

of a hungry fridges

rota cluttered milieu

KITCHENSONG #2

kitchen hum morning

fine sliced carrot 

wooden chopping board

~

in the zen 

of deliberate knives

a piece of 

peace of mind

HUMAN BEANS

too often
human beans
must remind 

other human beans

that theyre still

human beans too

i do not believe
bears do the same

or the crab

tell the cod

he is crustacean

IT COULD HAPPEN, IT COULD

one big reason
i enjoy painting
is the possibility
to be seen

stood with brushes
in my window
by gallery owners
out walking dogs
& be discovered
& set up
with showings & grants
the very next day

so i am keeping 

the blinds wide open
