initially
contempt
the news
penetrating
the internet
all the way
down
—
new
reality
seeped through
to the top
the perfect
storm
unraveled
180 turn
in taste
for charged
transport

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Wild Waters’
frogs having a blast
puddles turned lakes
raging rivers
swallowed fields
overflowing
septic tanks
with surfers
in the waters
life has
blended
into
one

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Still’
crushing down waves
pouring skies
cut the ties
with the world around
time to reflect
to be with oneself
nowhere else
but inside
busyness stopped
all is calm
silence around
apart from the rain
what do we need
what do we really
crave to do and be
other than that
an opportunity
to go within
to slow down
to be in joy
still…
alive

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Indigestible News’
staring at the news
bleak prospect
ongoing installing
of fear
how much anxiety
can one tolerate
before crushing
down
time to break
the cycle
of trusting
the narrative
our anniversary
deserved better
celebration than
injecting bad news
weather outside
still quite placid
so we took off
for a swim
alone on the road
quiet atmosphere
the dam was silent
only us submerged
dinner in an open
vegan restaurant
supporting the
brave hearts
food to live for
so we ordered
more then we
should
on the way home
sky with fluffy clouds
sun setting fast
on the horizon
home again
time to digest
beware of swallowing
more of the
same news
