Poem: Perennial Busker

Give me your roll up
your beaten up guitar
and I’ll even feed your dog

I’ll sing you a few songs
of tragedy, of lost love
and revolution never won

I know a few chords
and I can bash out some tunes
I scream with the best of them

Just don’t think to monopolise
this tale of hard time
it comes naturally to me

You just have to hope
that we’ll all be together
Hope in things to come
those who mean so much to us
pets included – beyond time

A few summer weeks
Punters head for crowded coasts
Overindulgence!
The sun, sea and sand play games
Make September quite daunting

Tanka: Game of Cards

So play your Trump Card
whether to praise or condemn
Take a look askance
beyond so called left and right
The joker always remains

Tanka: The Attention Span on Cricket

Cricket is the best
Sounds of willow on leather
How do I explain
a pastime centuries old
in only five short minutes
