The Old Haunted House. No one would visit them, in the old haunted house Not even a stray cat or a little brown mouse The ghosts were feeling lonely having frightened everyone away People would rarely visit now, even by day There was even a sign on the gate warning people to be aware Enter […]

The Covid Blues.

The Covid Blues We’re all suffering from the Covid blues Listening to all the bad news People sick and can’t get a hospital bed So many infected, so many dead Confined to our homes, restrictions and rules Children study at home not in their schools Unable to get out in the cold and the rain […]

The Great Paradox.

The Great Paradox. The stars swirl like drunken dancers As we look to the skies for the answers And follow the cycle of the moon and stars Of the planets, Jupiter, Mercury and Mars While the gods mock us for our pride and stupidity Scorn our weakness and mortality Not realising, that it is they, […]

Away to the Wild Places.

Away to the Wild Places Our times has come, there is no turning All around us, the world is burning The gates of the asylum have been thrown wide open The walls between sanity and the insane have been broken Crumbling and tumbling to the ground Common sense can no longer be found Our responsibilities […]

The Shining Ones.
