About the Poet

Nuts
Crazy as a cashew.?Unbelievably lucky,
I keep my job,?live alone,?lead a lucky life.
Always the same old job,?17 years of it.
Go nowhere.?Be nobody.?Do nothing.
Sheer luxury.
Shame
They got to me.
They drove me?off the deep end.
But I'm lucky?with my label,?and my safe job.
Shame I'm nuts.?Blissful,?lucky,?shame.
Mind Stew
Boil, boil, and?on it stews,?the broth that cooks,?on the stove?that is my mind.
Ideas bob up,?then quickly go.?But some will stay?and add to the?flavour that is?my twisted mind.
Dreaming of dreaming with my cat.
(Dedicated to Go the cat)
Early this morning in bed,?I had a very pleasant dream.
I dreamt that I was asleep?on the sofa?with my cat?(that I don't have anymore)?curled up on my back,?and we were both?warm and happy.
Those types of dreams?are always the best?and I never want?to wake up from them.
But then again...?I'd never get to?see the beautiful day?in store for me.
Piffle the Cat
My cat came to me in a dream last night,?he needed my love and my reassurance?that things would be okay.
His name was Patches,?but he answered to Piffle?and he was a sook and a cuddler.
My cat came to me in a dream last night,?he never deserved to go?the way that he did.?no-one did.?you see, he was killed by vicious dogs?at
