SHOPPING LOCAL:

It’s like pot-holing,
It’s a liability,
A hole you go down without knowing if you’ll come back out,
I think you’ll make it on enthusiasm alone,
Riding on the sound of your upbeat voice

(K)

WORKING AT ALTITUDE:

A flower on the jacket,
To let the world know,
We’ve remembered what we forget the rest of the year

(K)

THE WORM THAT SEES EVERYTHING:

Grumbling about the weather,
And the lack of sun,
Why don’t you carry it with you?

(K)

THE HOSPITAL:

Black shoes,
Brown shoes,
Black coats,
Grey,
A half eaten pasty in a bag,
Breakfast on the underground

(K)

THE RED WALL THAT REFUSED TO COME IN:

Hello everyone,
You’re all dressed in Black again I see,
It must be Winter,
Why don’t you wear colours and cheer the place up?

(K)

THE CONE ARMY MARCHES INTO TOWN:

Did you ever try to stop talking?
Crossing out words,
Until none are left,
Silence is a beautiful thing this morning

(K)

THE HAPPY WAITRESS:

An unshaven face sleeping,
Mouth open,
On the same train

(K)

THE HAPPY CHEFF:

Everybody’s looking for a bargain,
The cheaper it gets,
The greater the cost

(K)

THE GREEN HOUSE:

Brambles,
Discarded things revealed,
Uncovered as Summer leaves,
Broken brick,
Painted names,
Wire weeds,
Cheap food for a stretched wage

(K)

THE VERY SPECIAL STONE:

You with your Yellow hi-lighter pen,
Talking to yourself on a train,
Manuscript,
Face against the window,
Scenery moving,
Illuminated by an Autumn sun,
For a second,
Then is gone
