SUICIDE
(I use Buddhist meditation to help me survive. I also recommend reading diligently, “Overcoming anxiety without fighting”, by Dr Tim Cantopher)
Life is not fair.
Honestly,
The hardest thing,
Or things, is
Forgiving myself for making mistakes
And moving on
Not feeling hurt
Living life is so hard
So I work at it
Learning how to move on
And try to just live life
I have my good points

FIVE BUDDHIST POEMS
FIVE SHORT POEMS
A FEAR OF FLOWERS
Beneath another bright blue sky
So high
Hedges and hills, I turned away from
For all my life, I had feared wild flowers
Plastic is so safe
Yet one day I could not escape
A nearby cherry tree exploded
The speeding petal did not pierce my skin
It was soft
OPEN
Close your eyes
Open your eyes
Open…

THE LIBRARIAN
THE LIBRARIAN
If you asked me if I enjoyed being a Librarian… Well, it’s not a question I could answer. I have always been one: “Born a Librarian and die a Librarian”. As the old saying goes. The law states that each adult must come to me on or about their eighteenth birthday and I will give them a book to read. One that is appropriate for them. I listen to all their dreams and fantasies. To all…

AND OHH, WHAT IS THAT PECULIAR TASTE?
AND OHH, WHAT IS THAT PECULIAR TASTE?
AND OHH, WHAT IS THAT PECULIAR TASTE?
Your eyes can almost see past the white wine on your table
Almost see the fish gasping for life in the huge net
But not quite
Your nose can almost detect that very particular smell of sheep, as they travel up the slaughter line
The shit and the piss. The pain and the fear.
But your senses re-direct
Perhaps your mind has once see a cow feeding in a…

SPYCOP
I have two loves and each of them is true
Each creature I care for,
And I care for you too
Your smile sets me free,
And that special way you look at me, only me.
You love me true,
All that I know, about you
True was your love and sharp was your mind
I never dreamed you would leave me behind
My taxes paid for you to search my brain
How can I ever love again?
I was just a SPYCOP infiltration
No…

THE BIG SIGN
THE BIG SIGN
Many great thinkers believe that we have only a 50/50 chance of surviving the next 50 years. I think we need to make provision for the strong possibility that none of us will be here in 50 years’ time. This is called, Forward Planning. I do not think many forward thinkers doubt this 50/50 figure. If we accept it then we need to do the next logical thing.
I am being totally genuine…

Saying “Hello” to a sheep
(My first time at a Save Movement event)
http://thesavemovement.org/
Your fate is not described in films and books
No tale of, The knife. No painting of, The hooks
You and your friends that you hold so dear
Jump over each other in total fear
So what do I say to you, stranger,
When I know that you are in danger?
Your eyes stare in terror at me
And I know you just want to be free

NORMAL POEMS. I do write “normal” poems. Often these are poems influenced by Haiku and by Buddhism. My favourite poet for meaning, is K. Issa. And for listening to the sounds created, is Dylan Thomas (although Richard Burton read Dylan Thomas much better than Dylan Thomas read Dylan Thomas).

MULTI-VOICE POETRY
I am a School Technician who, twenty years ago, started to write short stories and Scottish History articles that I had researched myself. Over the years, I managed to make a couple of important discoveries relating to Sir William Wallace (detailed in, The Double Tressure, 1999, No. 22).
At the school that I used to work in, I organised an Amnesty UK Human…

METRE
I am no expert in rhythms that are set out for the poet to work within-like Iambic Pentameter. Indeed I think it must be very hard to try to write a good poem and keep to the restrictions of the form at the same time. I know that great poets in the past have used this kind of set structure but to me it is very limiting.…

Performance Poetry
A lot of people write poetry about important events in their life. Often this may be useful to them as it allows them to deal with e.g. bad memories. But often this type of poem is not , for others, especially interesting to listen to. Unless it has a new twist to it.
Take your time when you perform. You must…

Chapter 3 Haiku.
I work in a Secondary School (although I am a Science Technician, I have helped out with poetry events) and know how much pupils in English Classes enjoy writing Haiku. I think they prefer the haiku to every other type of poem. Perhaps, this is partly because it is such a short type of poem. Pupils spend ten minutes writing one.…

REWILDING
Sheep on the hill, silent, as the Day, dark falling Filling the pools is the swift rain – cruel and nourishing – high hill Saturating Into the night
With the morn, Hordes of clegs and midges gorge themselves on the sheep And the humans, they too shall bleed them
No sheep on the hill. No sharp hooves to break up the soil, Make to flood. Turn to mud. No hungry teeth eating fresh saplings. So Ash and…
