we are collectors

~~~

we are collectors by ndiwjei2ye2y3yy34y

~



when we collect things

we become collectors

as we build up a collection

of sorts


like blue magazines

or antique trampolines

no pressure

the decision is yours


& then down the line

we can sell this collection

& all the possessions

that we own


but we can still collect dust

one's wits & one's thoughts

as we plan what to collect next

naked & alone

...





 

always keep a handkerchief

~~~~~~~~~

always keep a handkerchief by han d kerchief

~~~



always keep a handkerchief

tissues soon reduce to mush

come a downpour


pretend that you're a viscount

most strangers are killers

but try to get out more


consider the bee in clover

but never dare to see

golf's dark appeal


always keep a handkerchief

go to bed around the same time

eat 3 square meals

...





 

excuse me, i’m a poet

~~~~~~~~~~

excuse me, i’m a poet by tom tarpaulin

~~~



excuse me, i'm a poet

yes poet coming through

we love all the pointless things

as that's what poets do

excuse me, i'm a poet

& poets can jump queues

then get special discounts

coz we're not plebs like you


excuse me, i'm a poet

behold my mighty pen

all my friends are poets

i don't have any friends

excuse me, i'm a poet

this gift is a godsend

destined to bore so blame the lord

until my fitting end


thank you

...

floaty ghosts

restless

hauntings

momentum

springtime

a crocus

restless

no focus

cheese rolling

multi-plug

cobwebs

delusions

am i florence nightingale?

maybe

confusion

are you isaac newton?

momentum

& hauntings

late spring

midwinter

potholing is

daunting

from pheasant

to peasant

from pauper

to crown

atishoo atishoo

we all fall down

weasel whines

poltergeists

intensity

crumbling

stand back

fumbling

density

this is not tea

at 3 in the afternoon

challenges

police cars

stand back

bananas come in handy

~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ ( click me ) ~~~

~~~

the brain's elastic bandy

but bananas come in handy

when the day's seem strange

coz the sun's been on the shandy

& the sky is always high

despite the hills that we climb

& the clouds? well they're just cloudy

which doesn't clear the mind

so i peeled a bent banana

but i peeled it the straight way

which can only always

look a little slightly gay

 next i gobbled from the tip like

with all my mortal might

& then shat went yellow

goodnight vienna, goodnight

( x )

our world of rhyme

( please click on this poem

 to read it as it should be

i type in preformatted on here

which used to come down as one

albeit to the left

but now, whatever stream your on it just shows the first bit

bunched in another typeface

come on wordpress you fuckin' shitehawks 

why the chuffin' shat-munt change

 or is it me? )



~


our world of rhyme

where lines they chime

from morn's dawn yawn

to rhyme's bedtime

yet then we sleep

then dream of sheep

joyriding jeeps

watch out - beep beep


day & night long

it's one big song

or chanson

i blame trad & anon

so tra la la

la la la lee

fiddley diddley

diddley dee

( nice 1 )
