My Latest Poem ( Has No Connection to Picture)


'The First Journey Of A Hair'

Tip your hat if it serves you well
and others may follow
and you'll be uncomfortable as the head of a line.

Rub your temples to deal with stress
because you have no control over what goes on inside

Purse your lips
when in a headlock

Be a man
and curse a buoy
under your breath

And now all that's under your belt....

Knocking knees are a kick in the teeth
But don't judge yourself too harshly
as a defence mechanism.

Stand on your own two feet
in a dance with yourself
and resent that you're lead.

My Latest Poem

'Urban Tiger'

Bringing colour to this concrete-jungle
that has to be hunted down.

My gun leads me to your part of town
but it can't be used
if I want to come back and see you.

Your graceful movement around the stiffened,
though it's hard in this situation to step on toes,
is an unwritten rule in certain places
with people just like me.

And I feel so rigid!
