From desolate docklands
A third cathedral rises
Everton reborn!

Cat crept into crypt
Then crapped and crept out again
Dogs are less sneaky

Not skeletal, yet.
Soon enough though, but sorry
The dog inherits…

Sleeping Pill too late.
To get much meaningful rest
Hazy Morning

Feel my blood curdle
And my brain has turned turtle
Damn yank-spelt Wordle!

Contents of junk drawer.
If I’m ever canonised
They’ll be called ‘relics’…

Marrow is in my bones.
I don’t eat vegetables
Where does it come from?

The Bethpage ‘Black’ Course
With the Millwall fans of golf.
Ryder Cup Rancour

Dis-united States
Splintered by politics
Scripted by Putin

What a ghastly sight!
An audience of soldiers
On stage, stormtroopers.

Godzilla rises
Scene: a gilt-trimmed, fetid swamp
The oval office

Per Fred Mercury:
“Who wants to live forever?”
And so he didn’t.

I think you should give Brian Bilston a credit for this. It is brilliant, but it’s his work

Brian Bilston’s poem

KittyKatGirl😻🙏💞🐞 @mary1kathy.bsky.social · 13d

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona’s hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

“Have we a future?”
“Us? Or the whole human race?”
“We’re good. But the rest?”

I won’t stay too long
I said when I arrived here.
How long was ‘too long’?

Where do I call home?
Forty years an immigrant
Neither here, nor there

#haikufeels #plan
Coincidentally I sent an email about our local planning department just before opening BlueSky. I was not poetic.

Planning Departments
Have one reason to exist,
To prevent planning.

Charlie Kirk has been dead a week and his widow has launched a dating app (and is on it)
Swipe Right or Swipe Far Right? That is the question…

The chance not taken
The passion never indulged
The ache of regret

‘Fall’ would make more sense
If ‘spring’ was called ‘new growth’
And winter ‘dead plant’

The half-marathon
The agony of the feet
Must buy better shoes

“are we infinite?”
“Yes we’ll go out tomorrow,
“It’s ‘Law and Order’ “

(Actual conversation yesterday)
