The Putrid Odor of Hypocrisy

Hi lawrence there can be no democracy,
All the time tyranny is in power controlling the masses.
Putin holds the scythe of death over his people.


GUBBINS

When the son took over from his dad in business.
I can still hear him say, On electrical goods.
Oh yes it has all the gubbins.

Didn't there used to be one of these before?
Now what was it called....oh yes I remember,
A PROTECTION RACKET..

It's amazing how little mishaps
(think she was a girlfriend of mine).
Gives us images enough,
To write such a fine rhythm.

Your body is electric

2024-02-11
All sorts of thoughts rang through my head
As I read the title, The poem did the same.
Do electric sheep have electric dreams
A si fi book by P. K Dick nothing to do with poetry...
It's strange how a few words can invoke ones thought process.
The title alone acts like a muse inviting me in. The poem does the same.
Regards Alan

MINDS LEFT TO BE UNDER DEVELOPED

2024-02-03
Our old town library is kept going, Only because of the locals.
Our Eastbourne library has a underground,
Theatre They advertised for a poet's evening.
Where you could go and share your poetry,
When I arrived I noticed it was for female poet's only.
For library's to stay open people need to use them,
Government needs to step in to help libraries diversify.
Thanks for posting ken. Regards Alan.

A Song Sung Blue

2024-01-28
Hi Kathy I've never thought of myself as a
Neil Diamond fan. As I read your poem
His music came alive in me.
He was and is one of the greats.
Luckily we can still enjoy his music.
Thanks for posting. Regards Alan

Ramblings 641

2023-12-24
Hi F.M it's nice to here from you again.
If you've read my poetry, you would realise
I'm writing, scribing without a brain.
To someone like me it's nice to see,
and read. Your writing again.
Your not insignificant,
You've touched to many hearts over time.
If you haven't guessed as well as mine.
Salutations my friend. It's Christmas time,
From Alan and the rest of his tribe.
And may next year be better than the last.
Xxx


DOCTORS PEP TALK

2023-12-21
As I said in one of my poems Dougie.
I haven't worked out where I'm going to spend eternity.
Smoking or non smoking..
Thanks for reading and caring Dougie.
Stupid thing is I received a text from the doctor's,
Asking me how would I rate my visit.
Under the circumstance I thought it was taken the
Proverbial. As for swearing I do if the occasion
Calls for it. For instance....
Doctor goes onto a ward, says "I want every patient
Fitted with a catheter". Nurse says, "Are you joking!".
Doctor replys. "No I'm taking the piss".
That's one of my jokes, feel free to use it.
Salutations my friend, regards Alan

I find living up to others expectations is easy,
Living up to my own expectations is hard.
Poetry focus my mind into a diminutive spot.

HOSPITAL DAYS - 1

2023-12-02
Hospital days life amongst the bedpans,
Drug induced weekends to give the nurses days off.
As Maurice chevalier would say,
"Ah yes I remember it well".


The Song of Xerxes Riffraff

2023-11-28
Nicely done Tom
Should I go into a rant,
I'd forgotten the word known as scant.
Will I use it maybe I will maybe I can't,
Can this be considered as a rant.
Regards Alan

Cheap Imitations to Court Inspiration

2023-11-24
An inspired allergy of a few well received,
Present day poetic poet's.
It's nice to flex the muscles of the mind,
One in a while. Think mines set to erase and rewind.
Salutations regards Alan.


Vladimir Poutine

2023-11-24
Vladimir hold's the reins to tightly,
Choking the live out of Russia.
He is a true dictator but;
He could never be a king,
To his people.


i propose

I know that feeling,
When carol and I wed.
They told her it would only last a year,
51 years later still waiting.
Unfortunately they didn't say which year.

If there are more planets.
Than there are grains of sand,
Of course you can. It would be,
Biological wrong not to.

So true.
Where I live the police have merged,
With the library. That way if you're caught....
They can literally through the book at you
