Leisurely Life Lessons
I could get used to this leisurely life.
Wake up without an alarm.
Stretch, yawn, linger on.
Get my long list of to do things done.
Read, write, learn without interruptions.
Walking a snail’s pace on the treadmill while catching up on world news...
Unprecedented attempts to slow the spread of a new kind of flu leaves me wondering what more we can do?
Quiet calm surrounds m...

MARBLES
for simple pleasures of conquest
we played marbles, for marbles
with marbles again and again
and bagged them
safe and drawstring tight
a natural balance of loss and gain.
Like glass eyes they spun in our palm sockets
leapt and sparkled
in gutters or playgrounds
from three finger cradles
whirling swirling in small tracks
clickety clacks
macho skirmishes
the m...

GOLF: THE REAL STORY part the second
Full set of golf clubs for sale I saw
with trolley thrown in
on a garage door.
Apply within it said( well really )
can't give 'em away though sometimes nearly!
They crop up in the charity shops

Nobody wants yesterday's flash
on wheels

not a used and sullied perversion
like golf shoes with rather...

GOLF: THE REAL STORY
Golf - the mystery of holes in the ground
smoothed to within an inch of its life
soft dreams
tiny ball hard hit
that's about it
oh! I nearly forgot
the nineteenth hole
scene of many a deal
done with sweaty hands
and in oak - lined rooms
where men can be men
old sorties are relived
oh! and I nearly forgot
the fees, a fine

My Lottery Win
I spotted a slip of paper
Blowing around the floor
Nobody else had noticed it
So I had to go and explore
I chased it around the pavement
Through the bus station door it blew
I managed to catch it and pick it up
It was last weekend's lottery ticket, who knew?
It was for the big, multi rollover
Thirty million they said
And they were still seeking the winner
All sorts were going thro...

SWIM IN THE SEA
SWIM IN THE SEA
Dark blue ocean has so many moods, just like a person.
If you ever make one mistake you will pay for it dearly with
life; this ocean is a thing of beauty and of mystery, yet deadly.
So many planes and ships have disappeared into the dark waters –
who knows where they are now?
People sail the seas on such flimsy craft, old sea rafts and dangero...
