You Might Not
You might one day not win a local poetry competition
In a Camberley bookshop that you once unsuccessfully applied for a job in.
Counting the failures,
The same poem might one day get published in an academic journal.
Then back to Camberley
You come second in a poetry slam
Out of two

asma
the desert rose
the first lady of hell on earth
she takes my breath away
like poison gas

Brexit
An island again
Back to the edge of Europe
It's not the end of the world

Wrap
Forget most gangsta rappers
It's getting out of hand
When they say they know Killers
They're probably talking 'bout the band

Creative Writing
These words are loaded
Like Alfred Nobel's factory shed
After the explosions
May come the notoriety
After false reports of my demise
Will come some atonement
After the prize
Then hopefully the peace

Chess
Do not blunder your knight
In games of love and war
Or all you may be left with is pawn
