February 2026 Collage Poem: Stuck Between Stations

entry picture

That wet stuff brought tidings of God

 

A single magpie on a fence post

scared to face the past

Says "Knowing you has emptied my heart"

 

Laptops cannot but wander

Further than we can

 

Should I stay or should I go

stuck between two worlds one stop

back or one step Forward stuck.

I stay with unsure which to go.

 

One afternoon the train

Stopped between stations, not 

Adlestrop, but somewhere between the

future and past

 

TRAINS NO BOATS BUT BUSES

IT ALL STARTED HERE!

 

Station to Station - where was Bowie

Drunk on the poetry in a northern grim Town.

Caught between the Communion and abandonment

laid beyond the rail.

A Bird in Flight

Flying thousands of miles
A sense of survival
When our minds focus
Our very thoughts travel
We in ourselves are
All birds in flight.

Why do birds always crop up in our collage poems?

A Pause can Prove Purposeful
Searching onwards
Poetic paths
Sometimes stopping
Between stations
Forward thinking
Decision making
Mirrored reasons
Exceptional debating
Before continuing.
