Blind (Haiku)
Blank creative mind
no new words floating around
a poet screams; Blind!

Corfu Town It’s Cricket
Corfu Town It’s Cricket
Alfresco, beautiful esplanade
taverna in Corfu town.
Retsina and ouzo to drink
Greek salad – kalamata and feta.
Ball on willow echoes out
a cricket match on the esplanade green.
Shouts of out or well done
disturbing the lunch.
Such sounds of Englishness
abounding on foreign soil.
Just enjoying an idyllic Grecian day
then knocked for six.

Full of flowing change
falls from autumn to winter
coloured brown and red.

No More. (Haiku)
Generations died
human life mutilated
no more wars, just peace.

Unbroken.
For all those in love:
Unbroken
True love triumphs
above all foolishness
love is much more than decreeing
the genders
of who has madness to love
or to lie with their chosen partner.
Human love desires, affairs of the heart
as it races without defibrillation
lovers chests bursting extreme love
bodies, brains tingled in exaltation
knowing their own true love way
as the blood rush electrifies synapses
in loving hearts and minds
never to be broken
in their eternal journey of love.

Almost knocked over
walking the right arrow way
I think I’ll stay home.

Virus (my self-isolation)
Virus
Pandemic of a human kind
global rush of Covid 19
worldwide death never designed
yet causing the lockdown scene.
Older and vulnerable were mostly thought to be at risk
children, then any age were taken
underlying health problems, the healthy too
no discrimination, it could be you.
Panic buying soon became the norm
empty shelves, no toilet rolls no tins of food
shops emptied by the covid swarm
normal folk now in a frenzied mood,
Self isolation social distancing lockdown
key workers frontline staff NHS Docs and nurses
the ones allowed to move around
NHS staff in their PPE, nursing the dying
trying to save lives in trying times
BBC giving us daily updates of soaring numbers
all over the world not just at home
this is real news not fake
let’s stay safe do not roam,
When it’s over we can party like it’s 1999
down the pub to celebrate with family and friends, reunited with love ones
street parties whatever you want
rebook your holidays, start to live again without fear
me, I’ll just hug my daughters and grandchildren too

Self-Isolate/Loneliness and Isolation.
Govt tells older people with or without health problems to self-isolate. Sadly many of them have been doing it for years, it’s called Loneliness and Isolation.
