Poems, reader, I’m learning to write poems and have joined in a facebook group called #postitnotepoetry.

It’s been so much fun, challenging and gets me out of a writing rut.

So, for want of something better to do, I’ll share some with you 🙂

Little bird, trapped by wire

I bet you wish you could fly higher

Exotic creature kept for pleasure

Goes to show man’s true measure

If I could I’d set you free

But you can’t live within a tree

You are doomed thus

Kept to please us

#postitnotepoetry

Pretty bird upon the water

Keep your head down, you really oughter

Duck

The grass is green, and way too long.

Of birds and crickets, a distant song.

So far gone now, I’ve lost the chooks.

I need to mow now, a jungle mistook.

The whipper snipper and the mower.

A bit of fuel, to give some power.

I have to weed and tidy up.

Tired and dirty, of cool water I need a sup.

Layer of moisture close to the ground

My thoughts enveloped in a shroud

Fog
