I've been scribbling again...

Poems in 140 characters or less...

 .....

 when I told the daffodils  
wants war
they nodded
                     they knew

.......

 contumelious malapertery
two words to silence any bus
and set tongues wagging
about foreigners and their saucy tongue

.....

 maybe whiskey or Bach
will ease the disconnect
between gnawing gut and head
or maybe both
                       and not care

......

 the past does not welcome today
photographs more curio than curiosity
only toothache rotten tooth
 shows the slightest interest in marmalade

.........

 In Spain babies are born
 with a baguette under the arm
generosity needs
only temporary stitching

,,,,,,

 judging by the shops
is charitably caffeinated
with beautifully snipped hair

.....

 mrs sir all bosom and buttocks paddles the organ
as twenty four children stand and sing
then voluntary unaided sit back down again

......

peace:)
