Corporate Catastrophe





















out of focus
where are my specs
don't tell me - here they are
hanging round my neck

everything's a blur
in which city am i today
hope i packed a fur
before  i brave the fray

it looks a bit like england
where's the clip tag with my name
hotel hopping, meetings
boring  - all the same

no longer have an identity
am just a corporate nerd
supposed to be important
at what -  i've never heard

Sunday Whirligig 44


shrug zodiac icy town pressing frigid
huddle goats debating warm cuts swooping

the goats huddled together
to keep warm
against the icy wind
swooping across the plains

temperature falling rapidly
the pale winter sun setting
frigid snow turns to night ice

covered in cuts and bruises
car wheels still spinning in the air
overcome with a pressing need
to find shelter

no point in debating with myself
whether to go or stay
too late
to consult the weekly zodiac about the future
too far from town  - alone out here
atlas shrugs

Vincent Van Gogh



a radical approach to art
a seamless weave of paint and spirit
pure magic
unappreciative response from the public
with a penchant for the chocolate box
pathetic


he dies unacknowledged
another genius wasted on the world

3WW...pathetic radical seamless

Cinquain
















coral
in rich colour
God's generous gift to us
destroyed by man's pollutive ways
too soon

Wordle 95 MLMM



attrition hibiscus deaden irrelevant fear elicit
dolorous human adversary downpour fade claw

this could result in
a war of attrition
eliciting fear
escalating into
a deadening dolorous situation
a sharpening of claws
it's  human to respond
to  the adversary
it's a downpour of relief
when resisted
ignore the neigbour
stealing the hibiscus
in the driveway
it all becomes irrelevant
fades away with time
life is too short

Sunday Whirligig





hush
take care
look where you are going
swaying along the mossy path
with that guilty glint in your eye

you will  get
fierce opposition
if you do another
disappearing act

woe will follow you like
a dogged witness walking
in your footprints

Tanka..Carpe Diem Haiku Kai


Amber Koroluk - Stephenson


suffocating
vacuous drivel chit chat
a grey army blanket
thrown over the very soul
suburban deadly torpor

The Willow song (Othello, IV:3)

tears of a geisha
her virginity lost to a soldier -
pussy willow blooms

Chevrefeuille




a poor soul sat sighing
in the heat of the day
beneath a willow

Senryu and Shadorma

grey roots
peeping through the brown
sign of old age

the arrivistes
real estate and travel
their favourite topics

a sad case
prickly and filled with
bitterness
has it all
in reality has zilch
incomplete and bored



B&P Shadorma and Beyond MLMM
