Inspired by 'Jason's wonderful poem  "Birdsong".

Which I was reading whilst the news was on the background reporting on 'domestic abuse' cases rising., as a result of COVID 19 quarantine’s rules.

Times Of Yore

Unison sings in this birdsong poem

to remind us of 'times of yore'

when the only chatter coming down the line

was the repetition of that old jackdaw.

Walking towards the light

What a waste. What a shame.
Lost and gone before you came.
The spot light dims no shadow cast
behind illumed face or darkened arse.

The curtain falls, the audience leave
disappointed and deceived
Your name in lights bulbs all blown
Dark forever. Not a fate condoned  

Your loss because another rises
fame assured, because of your tantalizes
Walking casts a ...

Ramp it up ramp it up, the UK’s ramping up

Now it’s all about the Covid checkout

Come on, ramp it up!

It’s the latest Buzz-word used so extensively

at every opportune moment, daily on TV.

Ramping it up, that’s what we're doing...

If you can believe, half of what the PM’s saying

Who could disagree?

A sterling job we all commend

Our fabulous Nation Health

Cue the manic laughter

Following on from my previous blog*  there is more I'd like to say

when it comes to Global culls there must be a better way.

Many theorize that ‘Covid virus’ is part of a deadly plan

reducing the population, killing women, children, man.

Well there is a flaw in this plan if you think this through

whilst we’re locked in quarantine, we know what many wil...

The latest scientific research seems to point to the fact that if your parents did not have any children you are 99% likely to not have any either.

In nine months time a baby boom ( I know its a tautology )

will be resounding across the world

During all of this captivity, much sexual action will unfurl

Boys and girls will be popping up like there is no tomorrow

Bringing lots of...

bleat bleat bleat

i have to say I find it strange

when folk get angry, become estranged

it’s not as if its a big surprise

to see the death toil daily rise

if now you can not find a bed

or medical care and end up dead

it's not as if you were not warned

this pandemic virus spawned.

flatten the curve being chanted

politicians platitudinously daily chanted

Another victim

.

Tearing though the sinues in my skull

sucking all the air from my lungs

Gasping for breath.

I could feel my very soul departing with each exhalation

Drowning in a vacuum of hopeless turbulence and despair.

As I stepped out upon heavens stair.

Nothing...  Nothing now of me remained

Except, engraved upon felsic intrusive igneous granet

Ovid on the Covid

In Augustus times Ovid wrote

many a poem about sore throats

He was truly inspirationally to a lad like me

I searched the library for this cononical poet

For yes he was one, if you did’nt know it.

I feel like Ovid myself now... banished in exhile

because of my ‘carmen et error’.

How I enjoy his elegiac meter and erotic themes.

I am re...

As some of you are aware I work in a ‘key field’

If any of you watched ‘Murder 24/7’ on the television earlier this month you will have seen how we can track people very accurately via several different methods...  very accurately to within a few feet, and within seconds, in real-time!

‘Hypothetically’ potentially if you are having a BBQ and there are more than two of you we could add your n...

People must not cough near you

they must cough far away

If you hear someone coming

Tell them to...

FAR COUGH !

Closed minds

My hands reach out to touch you

To break a binding spell

That grips you oh! So tightly

How far my friend you've fell

So insidious and commanding, compelling you to obey

Implanting words inside your mind, the things you're meant to say.  

Thinking these thoughts are yours… because this is how you think

Your eyes opened wide., and yet so easily hoodwink...

Good morning Doctor, I have a nasty cough

Can you sign this chit, so I don’t get laid off.

How long have you it had it, I’m duty-bound to ask

and, since you are here, take off that silly mask.

I am just being responsible as we all should do

Unlike you, you silly arse, you haven't got a clue

Where is your face mask to protect you from the goo

I can’t f’n get one, because o...

Dying for your touch

The music saddens her heart, her eyes well tears of sorrow

that leave indelible tracks upon her cheeks so pure

Her red lips tremble as her body quivers.

Last night, last night she dreamed once more

About that man upon that distant shore

Never again will she feel his tender embrace

Or the warmth of his breath as he kisses her face

Their tw...

Cheapskate

So home from work another day over

switching on my laptop

First stop, WOL... It looks like a hostile take-over

Every comment on the right

my name is there to see

I spent a while commenting,

‘Poemagraphic’... that is me

I read a lot of other’s poems

some are rather good

so I leave a comment,

Cos. I think I should

A Man in Grief  

It must be very difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.

It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.

They always ask if she's all right
And what she's going through,
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?"

He hears h...

Mindlessness’

My mind sitting passively in a pensive mood state

feeling receptive, thoughts to relate.

Calling to a sphere outside of my vision

no fear in the least the slightest derision

When soon into focus comes ethereal plains

where the muse can transfuse some spiritual gains

Wondering if that wondrous thought of inference

is a figment of my mind or ...

Apotheosis

Apotheosis is a way of seeing

all things as they appear to God

Can avoid within a universe of being,  

hiving energy in  comprehending

the infinite – not stifle pansophy?

Apotheosis is a way of seeing

energy – without creating or destroying,

without mundane perceptions – as, purely

a void, within a universe of being

all life must be repudiated; cleansi...

...Mr. Kotula is a fervent Catholic who believes he is fighting in a noble cause, saving his region - where he says 75 percent of people are regular church-goers - from a rising tide of Western moral corruption and secularisation. He says he is acting “for the sake of my grandchildren”.

A forest falls upon my gaze, ethereal voices break the haze

obscured by ancient mists of time like an all-immersive pantomime

Lines of trees standing tall and straight block our passage with no gate.

Visions convergence  

There are certain taboo places my head and heart says never go

Sometimes without rhyme or reason, it seemed I’d reached a high plateau

Where I can see distant horizons, far vistas come into view

I longed to reach up further, higher my heart says, adieu

I clambered all the way, to reach this lofty summit

My head is feeling dizzy, my heart begins to ...

You are in the spotlight

A poem can be like a miniature book

It’s title the cover, to entice you to look

You can’t judge a book merely by its cover

You have to read on to truly discover

What treasures or dross are on each page

Like watching actors play their part on a stage

As the plot thickens a spotlight so bright

Highlights the victims terrible plight

A...

That fateful day

I hear you coming up the stairs

The cause of all my hopes... and fears!

I know for certain what’s in store

My life ripped apart... and what for?

So many times, black and blue

Because the abuse, caused by you.

Sometimes scars left, never fade

Every mark you’ve ever made

Broken ribs, broken nose

God how many? Cos. Only God knows

Mostly...

KREED KAFER   R.I.P.

A faker, a forger, a liar was he

Making my religion, look a mockery

I saw through him in an instant

It was blatantly obvious to see

The truth in plain sight, who was this man Kreed  

This deceivers lies, all his followers believed

The self-deluded imposter, keep many a fan fooled

Even after his fame waned, and his popularity cooled

Washed up upon the shore

My winter solstice sabbatical, is now almost at an end

Come next Monday morning, more evil will I portend

For I am a silent witness, eradicating evil doing

Chasing down the demons, bring about their undoing

Casting out foul followers, of the darkest lord

From our local coastlines, from countries far abroad

The innocents that suffer, in small ...

After typing this pm below I thought I would post it here for all to read

It is NOT poetry, it is just what I firmly believe to be the truth...

We forget how grand it is.

WE also ******* do not always comprehend how much a single press upon a key can destroy a person and indeed now a whole nation.... Fuck maybe even the whole of humanity's existence.
