I’m getting stressed out,
it makes me so mad I shout,
why can I just leave.
I want holidays,
places in the sun for fun,
with nothing to do.
I am so tired,
but I am not sleeping well,
I wake up at four.
I’m dreaming of work,
not rational but rubbish,
silly arguments.
Going round and round,
doing the same things daily,
without that success.
Month: March 2021
29/03/21 Sleeping
March is nearly gone,
and clocks jumped forwards an hour,
to bring morning fast.
I got up at six,
and found out it was seven,
what a shock that was.
All clocks are liars,
but too often we believe,
they can tell the time.
My paintings are fine,
that’s what I tell myself now,
and add some colour.
Moon day is ending,
and it didn’t show itself,
just some big bright stars.
I’m falling asleep,
the waves of slumber roll in,
rocking me to sleep.
28.03/21 Tea Party
What’s in a quatrain,
a poem or prophecy,
or gobbledy-gook.
I chose the latter,
I am mad like a hatter,
and it’s time for tea.
A pizza for one,
that is one pizza for me,
make it a big one.
A coke on the side,
a bottle and not the can ,
and that was crushing.
Soon day didn’t last,
because it’s end came too soon,
and over and out.
The bed took me there,
to the next and lovely day,
I hope it will stay.
27/03/21 Hopes well
Will this make me rich?
I really hope it does soon,
then I can retire.
The day after it,
it was, a long bad ass week,
that repeats next week.
I hope they pay well,
I hope I can stay well too,
they go hand in hand.
The day was lovely,
a little blowy outside,
but the sun was warm.
My shelf building stopped,
all set out and then it stopped,
I hit something hard.
I have some good tape,
it is sticky on both sides,
and can hold things up.
Projects come and go,
some are short and some are long,
I know both of them.
I like to paint now,
and I do that everyday,
to relax my mind.
Lots of greens and blues,
those restful, peaceful colours,
that paint angry seas.
26/03/21 Fee Fi Fo dum day
What a dreadful day,
more of that work place rubbish,
all of it on line.
The remore working,
dehumanises people,
into profile pics.
in the afternoon,
the sunshine floods my office,
and brings it alive.
there’s a heaviness,
in the air and in my head,
that rarely passes.
I must seem so dull,
hair unkept and unshaven,
and really don’t care.
Claw marks on the door,
I remember that day well,
as does the other.
Pirates gold, my boy,
and chuckles in his bottle,
with a one eyed wink.
I saw the map then,
an isalnd far out to sea,
past the devil’s reef.
what yer looking at?
he could feel the question hit,
and said, ‘nothing ‘ere!’
Be sure you ‘aven’t,
said the old man grabbing him,
and pushing him down.
He fell in the dust,
and strambled then to his feet,
and just ran away.
25/03/21 Worst day
Turds day is it now,
does it smell like fresh doo-doo?
Or, do flies like it?
Torrid day maybe,
the streams flow like torrants,
in mindless emails.
Work piled high with crap,
and stuff like bile from their mouths,
vainly repeated.
The turd words spin round,
just like something flushed away,
and they still can smile.
It was a bad day,
I lost it, like a balloon,
that got blown away.
I regathered well,
and I broke the spell like glass,
and a strange peace came.
It is demonic,
said one, and like a sane one,
laughing at their words.
24/03/21 No empty chairs
Well, I lost the plot,
what I got was not alot,
and rest was wasted.
I sat counting coins,
pennies of a kind use once,
many years ago.
Do they really know,
the struggle that they cause us,
and repeated work.
And we build them up,
like sand castles built on hope,
that’s washed in despair.
The music has stopped,
and we look but there’s no chairs,
so we all sit down.
I am painting more,
a little dab here or there,
and a scene appears.
The scenes just appear,
a shoreline or sinking ship,
washed in angry waves.
A forest appears,
out of a mass of green paint,
with trunks and branches.
23/03/21 Tempt nation
What day is it now,
I stare like I am lost here,
with eyes unseeing.
I meander on,
walking like a stray pupper,
but still curious.
The curtains retain,
the darkness trapped in the room,
until the sun pours in.
A shot in the dark,
no dull thud or richochet,
just the shots echo.
And so, I say quit,
run and hide or get away,
it’s not my business.
22-03-21 Espionage
A coffee dinner,
is a real diet winner,
but it’s not for me.
I slide down a pole,
and through a very tight hole,
to the ground below.
I wonder I do,
should I win a million,
will I still write these.
Ofcourse I’ll keep on,
writing Haiku everyday,
that’s my thing, my way.
Let’s hope I do win,
that’s will be a miracle,
and I will thank God.
I’ve landed on earth,
with a very heavy fall,
right into doo doo.
The fishing is good,
they seem to like this strange bait,
a few get away.
I’m not a angler,
I do not have an angle,
in my old wallet.
It is code yoyu know,
the message has now been sent,
the password’s the same.
We got your scribbles
yes to the number seven!
Number one’s a no.
That will make it right,
if right is left and left down,
is up right, or not.
The puzzle flew west,
and the pieces are scattered,
so do what you can .
21-03-21 Painting blind
It’s Sunday today,
the sun did come out to play,
for a little while.
I went for a walk,
with my camera ready,
but without a film.
it is an oldie,
no codes or digitals,
just dials and things.
Next week’s in nearby,
knocking on poor Monday’s door,
even though there’s time.
Give it a rest,eh!
Back off will yer, stupid work,
you just pay the bills.
Strange, when you drink tea,
and kind out you made coffee,
it can be a shock.
I’m drawing the line,
right here and right now, just see,
I have drawn a line.
The air is heavy,
dank with dampness, dark and dire,
in the twightlight hour.
I’m making it up,
every word and sentence here,
it is all made up.
I sit here writing,
do it quick and do not think,
just check the spelling.
Please give your yes vote,
click the button on the right,
or was it the left?
There isn’t a book,
the poems are not that good,
at least I think so.
I’m painting boxes,
wooden boxes and it’s fun,
with random artwork,
I cannot help it,
mix the colours with coffee,
and just slap it on.
