MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Jelly Beings’

constant movement
in the belly
butterflies on the rise

sitting around
doing not much
avoiding exercise

youtube addicted
seldom watching telly
ignorant or wise

a tall order
to be merry
with tears in the eyes

becoming too much
of a jelly
to stop would be wise

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Stagnant Feelings’

Coiled inside
Wrapped around
Stagnant feelings

Heavy clouds
Stick around
Stubborn mind

Mental note
Cut the cord!
Heal the scar

The tension eases
Each new breath
Feel supported

Freedom awaits
Embrace the unknown
Inside

Reminder!

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Greatness’

A strike of greatness
Buzzing in the ears
Who can say
They have no fears

The first one will get the worm
And the last one likely the will
Where there is persistence
Mental chatter is overkill

Study and work hard
The boss will pay you well
They have grease on their elbows
And the soul to sell

Time will come
When all is healed
Even vanity
Will disappear

In tears of joy
High with the birds
Ecstatic dance
Lost for words

Soaring

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Silly Laugh’

Hope is like a stick from cane
Little bit weak in a hurricane

Wide doorway leads underground
There treasures can be found

Mouth full of silly laugh
And heart split in half

The mundane life of a sand fly
Suck it up or die
