privilege

Entitled, you say? How could
that be true? After all,
it’s not like I go
around demanding
things or that
I must be
first in
line or worse, that I believe
I am better than anyone
else…I don’t think
that, in fact
I never gave
it much
thought.
Never
have.


Oh.

It’s Just a Weed


it’s just a weed
you know it’s true
it’s just a weed

with blooms of blue
the first to rise
you know it’s true

feast for our eyes
a sign of spring
the first to rise

though winter clings
with one more frost
a sign of spring

seems all but lost
it will not die
with one more frost

it will survive
it’s just a weed
it will not die
it’s just a weed

Cold – A Haiku 

nipping vernal blooms
bellowing bursts of cold breath
winter’s bitter blitz

beautiful monarchs
leave your gold chrysalises
days of wine and blooms

tyranny be damned
bring us days of blissful peace
and kings wearing clothes

Poison Champagne on Ice – Magnetic Poetry Monday – 6 March 2017

Poison Champagne on Ice
(a political commentary)

Let them eat cake!
Then we will laugh
at their fat growling
bellies when they come
asking for more and
send them away
broken, naked and needy.
They forgot who we are.
There are no bleeding
hearts here.
