Luvvies

The luvvies at the Dome last night
were out in force and loud
But when the man came out on stage
were silenced by the crowd
He made us smile, he made us laugh
and tears were rolling free
the sold out house in unison
for this hilarity
A tour de force in every way
this swan song to the game
before he treads a different board
to give politics a name

Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Corralled in the narrow alley
An incalculable mass of humanity
Drunkenly bumbles and stumbles along,
Skipping in hiccuping rhythm,
Belting (and belching) drinking songs,
With the flow of the fleshy river.

A Bit Rusty

It’s been a minute
Since writing five-seven-five,
So I wrote this haiku…

A to Z Challenge- The Letter N – April 17, 2016

On the Ninth hour
Just south of Northern Nubia
Nine nymph-like waifs
(All nieces of the Negus)
Naively danced nude
With a nebulous-like gauzy cloth
Tied to the nape of their necks.

Joyful Moment

My adorable younger cousin,

had come for his summer hols,

looking to have some fun,

& spread some cheer,

among us all!

Despite running a fever,

he was a bundle of energy,

We did call a doctor though,

for our own clarity!

I WISH I WISH

I wish I was a poet I wish that I could write the kind poem that talks of love and life.

To speak of shards and fractiles  of light while travelling through this vale of tears. I think that, that is so hard I bet it would take me years.

I wish I was an author a best seller I would pen! I’d wow the critics and public and I’d never work again. Or maybe  a screen writer a fantastic  gun ho! script, a Gothic terror with vampires cavorting in the crypt.

I wish I could write romances , long painful arduous tales with women running barefoot after their men across the dales. I’d have beautiful nurses falling at the doctors feet . God help the poor patients who we never hear of …perhaps they are all asleep .
