MORNING POETRY – ‘The Slice’

Friday night
at the local
Mama’s

ordered pizza
garlic and basil
mozzarella cheese

crowd of youths
filled the shop
after the game

empty belly
loud voices
excitement

the counter
full of tickets
waiting

the kitchen
staff worked
non stop

prepping
baking
washing

all the pizzas
finally served
time to go

wee hours
a new game
has began

MIDNIGHT POETRY -‘Extra Tight’

light fabric
airy flow
supporting
just a little
too low

encouraging
staring looks
peeking into
all the hidden
nooks

low set pants
revealing
the crack
at the front
potato sack

confidence
oozing from
every cavity
definition of
gravity

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Fitting In’

fitting into shrinking pants
fitting into society
no longer fit for purpose

pear shaped statue
the fallen hero
off the pedestal

misery laying
across the footpath
irritating passers by

the missing piece
of the life’s puzzle
to be discovered

desperation
labeled
home made
