broad blue stripes,
100% man
made,
not natural
to touch

Ah yes, this is why the internet was invented – as a repository for my poetry. Some of these poems are published, some of them aren’t. Some of them aren’t even poems at all but that’s OK. This is my repository.
Waiting
The black dog
waits by
the red gate
for the
yellow car
to return.
You defended me
You defended me
when, falling back,
we gazed on stars
Bed & Breakfast
fresh honey drools
sweet trails
over the doona hills
where we rolled
and lay.
Death of a poet
I know nothing
of death
don’t know
nothing about it
no really
nothing.
The Handy Man
i saw
the man
next door
n
cut him
short.
give in
we hold hands
like lovers
or world leaders
grip,
smiling
with pain.
Saturday Night at the Movies
Beaming from our television,
you know it all.
The leading man with monochrome charm.
The under-rated starlet and her delightful cameos.
