Grandad's Armchair

Grandad’s Armchair

Strange smelling, mustard brown moth-eaten chair, where Grandad sat on a Sunday afternoon after lamb with all the trimmings.

Like a heaving ancient giant, with his mouth ready to catch flies and glasses knocked to one side, he snores and wheezes, his tongue sissing like a snake.

With a choo choo train I fly around and scream and crash and wallop into everything; as Acti...

A Sea Poem

Deep within me

lay a sea poem

of long ago;

where air is fresh

but blusters wildly

when southerlies blow,

slick and slimy

mud between the toes-

mangrove's brackish home.

Whitecaps dance

in the open channel

close to where corals grow.

Christmas Lament

by S.J.

Put up the Christmas tree last night

that six foot hideous plastic thing

you said you liked, this time last year

would have got a new one, but out of respect

I saw it fit for pride of place in the left hand corner of the living room

next to the window by the fire, overlooking the snow outside

I thank God above you didn't have to drive in it

to work this year, o...
