too poetry

some things are just too poetry

for poetry

a spinning wheel

a honey spoon

a waterfall

a silvery moon

a constellation of stars

the tail of a fiery comet

a rainbow

arcing across the sky

a baby’s bonnet

in fact

don’t write

anything to do with night

no owl or wolf

or bat or ghost

no candle – shining in the dark

weather is a problem too

with April showers

or blazing sun

a sudden fall of snow

frost or mist or fog

a cotton-candy cloud

is just too

LOUD

for a poem

other
poetic animals to avoid

are

horses

well stallions
cats
well toms
or tabbies

dogs

eagles
and their eyes

timorous mice
they've been done before
and better

snakes and lizards

spiders

starfish

whales

eels

weasels

the first cuckoo

longing is difficult

and love

and lust

and patience
and a first kiss
or a last kiss
or falseness

and pretence

a garden fence

mud

dust and rust

trust

especially if broken

derelict houses

with fractured window panes

in the rain

where no-one has lived for years
not really lived

old cars

worn carpets

rugs and wallhangings

pictures

in frames

and old photographs on pianos

slatted Venetian blinds

parlour palms

oh and
you
your arms

your eyes

your mouth

your nose

especially if you are a baby
and it is a button

your heart

my heart

your blood
my blood
and the things blood does

milk

tears

tea
sympathy

plums

cherries

overripe blackberries
dripping from vines
all just a bit too rich for me

and now I think about it 
there's not really much 
you can write about 
at all
