"WARNING!"

I wake and do my puzzle game

I ache to wake my sleepy brain

My bones they need much more coercing

"Warning! This body is reversing."

FIRST CUP OF TEA - poem

you can ooh!

you can ah!

you can smack your lips

you can sip along to Radio 4's pips

you can slurp

you can burp 

you can iron your shirt

you can swallow

you can wallow 

that you're off to work

tea is the redeemer 

tea is the salvation

savour the flavour 

saviour of a nation. ☕

FIRST CUP OF TEA

Where do all the teaspoons go?

I had them in this drawer

they must be somewhere in this house

I'll have to buy some more.

But this brew, here, it cannot wait,

it can't afford to linger,

promise you won't tell a soul,

I'll stir it with my finger. 🤫👉☕

THE LIGHT EPHEMERAL

Light from a distant star reaches my eyes,

traversing a universe to find me - 

a long and unbroken journey

through the dark, guided only by time. 


At last it falls upon me. I wonder:

will my light ever find such distant eyes?
