MORNING POETRY – ‘The Rotten Apple’

what is all the hype
about iphones
i say they don’t
live up to it

if you had one
learnt to use it
then replaced it
with a new iphone

you will say
it’s the best
thing since
sliced bread

BUT
i as an avid
samsung user
made the transition
to an iphone

only to find
it is such a rigid
user foe system

hard to imagine
there is such a craze
for iphones
in general

only explained if
people never
actually made
the switch!

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Life Ends At Forty’

baking a bread
it could be said
I am a bit sad

trying to express it
using a few words
no space for tears

feeling discontent
life is jolly good
yet the mind is off

like a rotten apple
swallowed by mistake
as the snake laughs

desire for solitude
cover up of social shyness
love of one’s company

our need to shine
our need to display
our need for a sign
our need to pray

our need to be okay

who said life starts at forty
was delusional
