lonesome like a lighthouse keeper by augustus carmichael


lonesome like a lighthouse keeper

in landlocked derbyshire

there's a storm

hitting the shore

but it's no concern around here


the sea is somewhere that a-way

with rocks that wreck men dead

there's mighty waves

there's certain graves

so i'm lonesome but i'm safer here instead

...











 

off & on job

~

off & on job by melvyn maybe



in my mind

well there's this poem

palpitations

throbbing glowing

intermittent

sometimes showing

random

there's no way of knowing


~


mentals beckons

is it snowing?

cobwebs 

encroach

grandma's sewing

tax inspectors

ill winds blowing

off & on job

coming

going

...











 

( excuse me song )

( excuse me song by michaelmas filo-huff )



save the pandemonium

newtonian symposiums


serpents stalk 

the less trod paths

& aliens play euphoniums


~


my father was a potter

my mother was an otter


evensong

 is singing now

so sorry for the bother

tabloid tricks by nfwuhuhg8723.i6




the actress & the bishop

they were sitting in a tree

read it here exclusively

' you know i have a wife dear? '

' i killed my secret twin '


our squirrel spy-bot smirked

a headline smasher of a grin

a fucking poem

~

a fucking poem by resarf fucking poetry



a fucking poem

fucking thing

with fucking flapping

fucking wings


a fucking bastard

fucking shat

on fucking death

& fucking love

plus all the other

fucking stuff


that makes up fuck

ing life my friend

a fucking poem

then the end

...

hello october





hello october

where have you been?

eleven months have passed

since you've been seen

winter was mild then

things turned to green

summer beyond spring

where have you been?


~


hello october

how do you do?

memories they dwindle

is it still you?

do you still make mist

& kill leaves too?

hello october

how do you do?

there’s a hole in my head

~

there’s a hole in my head by jean claude anorak



there's a hole in my head

not the nostrils of the nose

nor the entrances of ear-things

nope beyond the ilk of those

which i trepanned one peng eve

as a laugh perchance supposed

& it's leaking information

drips of bits i used to know


~


there's a hole in my head

which i probably should block

as stupidity is looming

closer now with every drop

but as the crowbar flies - aye

the less one gives a toss

plus no one likes a clever clogs

so ' come on hole

don't stop '

...
