jolt poem

Jolt

(  j o l t  p o e m  )


jolt to a start

yes jolt out them vaults

flare your nostrils

& sweat like a colt

feel these jumpleads

energy - many volts

the buzz, the hum 

( & )

the whirr of the waltz



jolt for your salt

with chopped skipping hops

jolt out of bed

then nip down yon shops

fuelled by sweet tea

& too much fizzy pop

overdo it then

( oh )

jolt to a stop

...

where to write  (  a  t r u e  s t o r y  s o  n o t  r e a l l y  a  s t o r y  t h e n  )




on the settee

when there's shit on telly


under some trees

as the breeze tickles knees


sat on the bog

if you're not shatting logs


scrawl in your bonce

if you're walking the dog


upon a peak

when the day is grim-grey


under duvets

with your torch in p.jays


on the bus home

rock 'n' roll - fuckin' yes


sat at a desk

with its sheets

& this mess

...





















an acorn calls …

~

an acorn calls …  (  p o e m s  )



sweet damson jam

& that aswan dam

those horns of pan

jaw of piltdown man


collect your thoughts

yes - an acorn calls

with a4 scrawls

as an aphid crawls


be flim in flam

& the spick in span

that kick in can

as the also ran


let all burst forth

as mad bastard sprawls

make mess from nought

yes - collect your thoughts

...

life-sheet  (  s o m e   p o e t r y  )




the world is damned

the world is fine

& some say both

at the same time


the ironed shirts

are now more creased

as wars rage on

let's fight for peace


life never ends

we're dead from birth

we came from stars

this is our earth


folk tales lie like

the myth of self

- oh look, a ghost

& there's an elf


we're free to feel

the glow of odd

yes god is love

but not your god


sixpences can

turn in a blink

when everything's

a kitchen sink


each sheep's a sheep

each bird's a bird

all words - well they're

just fucking words


in summary

there is no sane

when bollocks rules

when nonsense reigns
