The Wrongness of Rosie

If you fail to listen

eventually you have to understand

For the embarrassment of not getting it

gets way out of hand

And If you see people laughing

and you missed the bloody joke

laugh along like there’s a gas

because you’ll find it very woke

Miss B Communication

Never answers

To Mr N O’time

As he

Loses track of Miss C again and again

Those unreliable fuckers!

Start writing…

I didn’t bother with much of a title but I started writing as you can see

But I’ve forgotten how to write, or rather I think it’s forgotten me

Start writing…

Next to the damn curser, every new fricken line, start writing, start writing… but how to finish cleverly this time…

…stop writing.

When your’re out in a Storm

When the weather closes in around you

And the ferocious winds turn against you

When the rain falls likes bullets to hurt you

And thunder deafens like cruel words

Along with its lightning continuously trying to shock you

I will be there

Your hand in mine

To help you to shelter

Find the calmness after every storm

I’m the relief in the burst of sudden sun rays

The bandage for all your wounds

Il silence the thunder into peace and birdsong

I am the earth that absorbs the lightning

I will hold you tight

I will see you right

Buoyant

The wind that sails the boat

The buoyancy thats make it float

The sail to power us in certain weather

The hull that that keep us closer together

Yes we have ourselves a boat

For whoever doubts us please take note

We’re sailing where others are grounded

Even we don’t know when this boat was founded

On distant seas and between undiscovered land

Our boat keeps us all in hand

Moving forward, then peacefully still

Never wasting precious time for the thrill

And when the water settles around us

Acts as a mirror to prove we are there

We shall now name our boat

On the sail above

Our boat will be forever called

Rock Leaf Cloud Mountain

I am a rock

And you are the ocean

Your tides are your love

And I feel your every motion

I am a leaf

And you are the tree

Your always in spring

You will forever make me

I am a cloud

And you are the sky

Your vast beauty everlasting

I am never too high

I am a mountain

And you are my lake

Together in a postcard

A loving keepsake

Love in all Weathers

When the weather closes in around you

And the ferocious winds turn against you

When the rain falls like bullets to hurt you

And thunder deafens like cruel words

Then lightning, continuous, trying to shock you

I will be there

Your hand in mine

To help you shelter

Find the calmness after every storm

I’m the relief in the burst of sudden sun rays

The bandage for all your wounds

Il silence the thunder into peace and birdsong

I am the earth that absorbs the lightning

I will hold you tight

I will see you right

Anna Lies

June 13, 2019creative writing, poetry, short stories, WordsFriends, Humour, lies, Nonsense, overthinking, poetry, relationships, Short Story, wordskmjmreed

Its’s all true, she said

Anna Liza lied

And even as she analysed

Her very own lies

All the while staring into Hanna’s eyes

Hanna tried easily to

Lie about disbelieving the

Lies Anna Liza told her

And she herself analysed

Anna’s lies that she spoke of

But Anna Lisa

Can see a liar a mile off;

When she sees one

And Hanna hasn’t met

A good liar yet

So both turned and left

Their lies lying

and so as it was

Anna and Hanna

Never met again

And for this reason

They were a little wiser…

But that could be lie

The Last Moon on the Left (excerpt)

February 5, 2017creative writing, Poem, short stories, WordsBrothers, Children at Bedtime, Excerpt from a short story of mine, Fear, Humour, Imagination, Life, Monsters, Space, The Downstairs Worldkmjmreed

The bizarre kettle-shaped spaceship, suddenly turns off its powerful engine of raging bubbles. Now, both young boys listen intensly, to the slow, muted, thud of footsteps… from the creepy bottom step… to the agonisingly close and creaky top step of the stairs.

But it’s soon after those footsteps stop, after the deathly silence they create, when something that sounds as light as a balloon, and travelling in the unnatural breeze of the night; bumps innocently light, then mysteriously heavier (again and again) onto the exposed floorboards of the landing.

Luke (the younger ) suddenly remembers that in the most recent past, he had found ‘the landing’ very confusing, because nothing that he was aware of… until now, had ever landed there.

I don’t mean to be boring

Or feel need to be liked

I don’t want to seem pretentious

Or told that was well typed

I don’t try to be fo sunny

Or morose for the sake of you!

I don’t write because i love weather

I write to keep my shit together!
