A sort of remembrance

No foot marks in the sand
To mark my passage.
No disturbance in the air.
I cry and grieve and cherish
My face immobile, as I stare
Out at stormy autumn.
O! living through November
Demands a certain flair. 
Foggy bafflements afflict me everywhere,
Pea-soupers some might say,
And as I gaze beyond the moon
I swoon into another dismal November  day.

She had a thing for Spiderman,

she loved his legs so hairy.

Some would shriek and run the tap,

she never found him scary,

 

The way he walked,

his great big eyes,

he drove her up the wall.

But he never did the dusting,

in fact, no work at all,

 

On the web hour after hour,

hanging round all day.

For her he lost his superpowe...

Some lad was doing ninety

He passed me on a corner

In a car he clearly didn’t own!

What was the flipping hurry?

Was his stupid house on fire?

Had his brain been deprived, abruptly, 

Of a vital connecting piece of wire?

Or was he a founding member

Of a firm called ‘Morons for Hire?’

Beauty

What is beauty?

When I call upon the beautiful, 

what am I summoning?

Not physical symmetry,

not physical perfection,

not that gorgeous look

of the put-together body,

the lovely home,

the splendid garden.

No, all that is fine & wonderful to admire of course,

but beauty,

that true beauty,

that lifts the stars to the sky

& carries the seeds into the ground,

A question implanted into a conversation at the dentist

Waiting to be seen at the dentist with a patient I did chat,

To pass time numerous topics we did discuss,mainly this and that.

"Are they all your own teeth?"a question into the conversation did land.

I answered,"They should be,they cost me nine  and a half grand!"

Putrid air, no stars in sight

Just sheer black sky’s we have

Buried just below.

 

For those who cried

As they laid down and died,

So very far from home,

With just white clouds,

Deaths gossamer shrouds

Covering their tortured bones.

Is liberty worth dying for?
