Sea and sky entwined
like lovers, viewed from afar
our one blue planet

Mistletoe and wine on again
T V remote on the table
to reach it I am not able
so I have to listen then
to a song that celebrates when
meeting people we have to try
to stifle any wish to sigh
hoping my face doesn’t give away
the thoughts behind my eyes that day
and memories won’t make me cry.

I find when talking to country folk
their favourite tree is the mighty oak
so just last week whilst driving my truck
I stopped near this one to have a look
and you can imagine my surprise
I’m sure I saw a pair of eyes
so I jumped back in to tell my mate Stan
He said, don’t worry, tiz just the Green Man
he won’t hurt you if you leave him alone
but I think we’d best start heading for home.

I don’t think I’ve heard anything sillier
than the names of the so-called witches familiar
such names as Bodkin, Turncoat and Scat
now who on earth would believe that
but as we read about it the case unravels
that were brought by the man who on his travels
whose self-made credentials were quite ephemeral
Mathew Hopkins, known as The Witchfinder General
but those days are gone and I suppose
we should pray for those found guilty, now in repose

Recently my parents parted
my stepmother was such a bitch
married my dad coz he was rich
to us all she was cold hearted
that was how the problems started
it’s often said that love is blind
I think my father lost his mind
but he began to realise
that all their love was built on lies
no human should be so unkind

In all these challenges I have never
tried to do something really clever
but this week I’m going to be bold
for my new post I’ll show one that’s old

Vile hordes of Hell spew

Between the solitary, candy-striped lighthouse and the white converted coastguard cottages, as the sun starts it’s daily descent in the western sky I see them exploring where the waves rhythmically, relentlessly, melt the sands, and wonder, had Shelley witnessed such a scene, would he have composed a wondrous poem to, “ The mudlark.”
