I write about big things.
But, it’s time to talk of the small,
of little pleasures of smaller joys.

An Offer
Ekphrastic poetry explores art. Using a rhetorical device known as ekphrasis, the poet engages with a painting, drawing, sculpture, or other form of visual art. Poetry about music and dance might also be considered a type of ekphrastic writing.
The term ekphrastic (also spelled ecphrastic) originates from a Greek expression for description. The earliest ekphrastic poems were vivid accounts of real or imagined scenes. Through effusive use of deta ..read more

The levy broke
and waters ran
A portent of a new
lifespan
To a place lit
with sterile lights
of stainless steel
Chemical flights

a useless man
A final quake

Orchestra of girls
One old one new
I hold the life
like mad parents did

To my new kid.

The "Offer"
Trevor the taser
Carriers a razor
He's an old-school badun
Who carries a gun
It's loaded and locked
Primed and it's cocked
With Caps from the shop
It’ll only go pop
If only he birthed
When the Krays were on earth
Instead, he's stuck
In the time of the schmuck
Now villains fake crime
Scamming people online
While gangsters so dapper
Are now only rappers
Fedoras all gone
So has Capone
The cost of organised crime to the ec ..read more

INDUSTRIAL ACTION AN OPINION
That the UK is a low-strike society and a low-pay economy is no freakish coincidence. In-work poverty is at a record high in large part because working days lost to strikes are at record lows. When unions were smashed by a combination of legislation, defeats and mass unemployment in the 1980s,
we lost the most effective means we have to ensure that workers get a fair slice of the pie they make.
That’s why the Governments proclamation ..read more

Google the phrase “two-sentence horror stories”, and you’ll find many examples. This site has quite a few to get you started, but here are some just to illustrate how cool they are:

It's Been Awhile.
Well what a year that was.
2021 brought us yet more Covid, climate anxiety, Brexshit, a Government more interested in lining its own pockets than serving the nation, an orange loon inciting violence on his government, Matt Hancock squeezing someone's bottom and, it would seem, for some, lots and lots of parties. But, in spite of it all, we found a way to live … and watch more Netflix.
If 2020 was the original novel then 2021 was a sequel tha ..read more

Random Joke of the Day
Here's a poem about my little pal :-
Albert
My best furry pal
who sits on my lap
brown eared but mostly white
My little old chap
he has an eyepatch
but sails no sea
apart from the ones
He fills with his pee
he growls and he snarls
He barks and he yips
when the postie arrives
bloody apocalypse
He annoys me sometimes
when he barks at the telly
and when he lets one go
It's silent but smelly
But I love my little dog
despite all his crimes
Because without him
I would no longer rhyme
Doggy Facts

Virus
Sorry for the lack of posts, my Lap Top has caught a cold. The little blighter took over and wouldn't let me get into my own bloomin files!
My laptop got a virus
I was surprised that it could
I tried to give paracetamol
But it did it no good
I poured in chicken soup
It works with my cold
But it just started fizzing
And the keyboard developed mold
I stuck in the bath
All soapy nice and hot
But it did not seem to like that
Oh it certainly did not.
And now its sound asleep
