October 2022 Collage Poem: Unknown Lives
Café conflict, Halloween Haikus
From Dracula’s steps
I am on the 4th bench on the right
I am talking to you, to the love
And to the new face
And to my own death
A bat out of hell flew over
The 100 steps.
A fairy tale, but fairy tales
Are grim
Coldness begins to bite by
Witches Delight
The moon is desserted
White horse gallops into infinit...

September 2022 Collage Poem: Thirst for Words
Eat or heat my stiffening bones
Like demons in the night on paid vacation
Aesop dons his tanning lotion
Admires his Trumpian colour and prays
For constancy with his New Look.
Golden girls, clicking high heels, sweeping, swaying hair
An oasis of ambiguity in the desert, for the parched
And for us all.
Unsure how we feel in response to a death
And twelve lo...

August 2022 Collage Poem: The Haze of a Sweet Afternoon
Time to slake our thirst for words
A cerebral circle of wordsmithery
Burying two dozen rats
In your neighbour’s garden
Under their prized rose patch
Whom you’d never liked one night
There’s a rat in the allotment –
What am I going to do?
Don’t worry – every little thing’s all right
So the broken beasts of shadows that speak
A bird, drawn in sand,...

May 2022 Collage Poem: This Empty Place
The gods of war take their last biscuit
In darkness, there was a sharp white light
The flush of life, now intense, remembered.
Forgotten rooms of MySpace
Ghosts of lost connections
Livecake holograms line the empty
Windowless green walls. A Tower
PC waited for something to press his
‘ON” button.
LONG LIVE ANGER UNLIMITED!
Summertime should never die

March 2022 Collage Poem: The Lost Prophet
Strange handshake, borrower
Plugs into deep sea darkness
John the Baptist turns
On the aluminium kitchen taps
The River Jordan has turned radioactive
Vultures in the gym flex and strain
Through cluttered concrete layers
Vultures pounding dents from floor removed
No electricity in the gym
Nigel talking about milkshakes
The monsters under the bed
...

February 2022 Collage Poem: Relief from the Darkness
Wallowing in darkness like warthogs in a pool
Horrendous December in the Gym
Under my duvet a donut prods my lust.
Outside the ambulance carries the lost prophet Susan
Through the slashing rain.
Channelling memories that everybody liked
More than joy, joyriding with sweaty socks leaving
A pile of charcoaled grief.
Grim and grimmer walked away
Without a gl...
