"I stare at myself in the mirror and I think,
'Wow, I'm really great-looking.'...
I think I'm the greatest, anyway"
Iggy Pop

Selfies in the Mirror for The Daily Post

I am the prettiest of them all
At least after too much alcohol
Trying to stand here very tall
Realizing I really need a total overhaul

Selfies in the Mirror for The Daily Post

Admiring our own reflection
From each and every direction
Ducky lips, eyes transfixed
Oh what ages we live in
It’s really hard not to give in
To the prettiest face staring

Around and around we all flock
Each other’s views trying to block
Stabbing each other’s backs
Until the mirror almost cracked

Mirror Mirror on the wall
Who really is the prettiest
On the selfie-sticks of them all:
Me, you, or the neighbour’s dog?

Framed for the Daily Post

“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.”

Framed Landscape

Blue skies and sunfried fields
From the bus window do I see
Only a few moments
But time all well spent
And now my reward
Is permanently stored:
A framed landscape
Recorded, onto tape

“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.”

Framed Ocean View

A perfect hideaway
With a view
Towards the bay
A framed display
Only for today

Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post

“Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.” Ursula K. Le Guin

Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post

Too early
Airport calling
Surely
You wouldn’t want to
Miss the flight
It took so long
And one
Sleepless night
To get there
Where ever
You now wanted
To go

Breathe in
Breathe out
Let the morning air
Cool and thin
Hitting your skin
Clear all doubt
For soon
Sea and sun
Will replace
The mundane
And it’s not even
A Monday!
Get the pun?

Fun
Outside
In the sun
Bring on
Your hon’
Because, today
Nothing
Get’s done
Because,
Today is
Reserved
Only for
Fun

Narrow for The Daily Post

“They say it is a wide road that leads to war and only a narrow path that leads home again.”
Bob Massie

Narrow Surface

Tiptoeing
On this narrow stick
Easy going
Because, it really
Is not so thick!

Gate

“Open the gate!
Open the gate!”

The crowd went wild
Like a petulant child
The boat was arriving
No time for driving

“Got to get on board!
Because I left my Ford
On the docks
And it’s locked!”

And finally
To borrow a quote,
On a slow boat
To meet my privacy
