The Flower And The Bird A flower opens to the sky. With petals painted bold and bright. It seems to hold the morning sun. And turn its colours into light.

His wife was Patient Zero. Empty bleachers, Women on his playing fields. He called her adjectives. Later, me too. Beautiful women for fun and games.

THE QUILL A crow knocked on my window, And left one feather there, It was as black as midnight, And proud beyond compare.

The Ink Ink sat inside a bottle, As quiet as a lie, Until the clock struck midnight, And darkness opened one eye. It squeezed beneath the silver lid, On forty little feet, Then dipped itself inside my thoughts, And wrote them on the sheet.
THE POET The poet lived inside a room, Where daylight never stayed, She wrote herself a lover, From words the darkness made.
POETRY Poetry moved in on Sunday, Without a bag or key, It climbed inside the cupboard, And ate my bread for tea. It slept beneath my pillow, And snored in perfect rhyme, Then stole the hands from off my clock, To give itself more time.
Simple Things Who walks the path beside the stream. And hears the water whisper low. Do they know what the shadows mean.
Lay down where the wildflowers grow. Not because you have nowhere else to go. Not because you have failed to keep moving.

The Elephant That Could Paint The elephant picked up a paintbrush one day, And nobody knew what he planned to paint, He dipped his long trunk into a pot full of blue, Then painted a picture of the sky he once knew.

MASHED-UP THOUGHTS My mashed-up thoughts were bubbling, Inside my head at three, So I tipped them in a saucepan, And cooked them up for tea.
UNDONE IN MY HEAD A tiny thought came loose last night, And dangled by a thread, I should have left the thing alone, But pulled it from my head.
THE TREE THAT STOOD AND SAW IT ALL I drew a tree beneath the sky, With branches reaching way up high, Its roots were deep beneath the ground, Where silent secrets could be found.
