Boat
I had my heart put on auto-pilot,
set to navigate towards you;
the low-battery signal just came on,
I don't know what to do.

Drowning In a River of Tears
Germany scored seven goals, poor Brazil is awash with tears
Guess they won’t need any rainfall for at least a hundred years

Hope Stick
I drop a stick down from the bridge
Into the waters far below
It carries my hopes with it
To see how far my stick will go
I am hoping it will travel far
And bounce upon the eddies
Missing all those obstacles
Going straight and fast and steady
I hope the bends to navigate
In the middle of the flow
To get caught by vegetation
Means there’s nowhere left to go
My stick has now bobbed out of sight
In the sunlight’s bright reflection
I hope to see it soon again
Still going in the right direction
Not all my hopes on this stick rest
Because that would be silly
I have another in my hand
To throw into the Swilly
( Swilly is a river in Donegal Ireland )

My Father Used To Say
MY FATHER USED TO SAY.......
My father used to say...
"Don't come back if you drown!"
He often acted the clown...
My endearing mum used to say..
"They'll come home in time for tea,
Wait and see.."
My Father used to say...
"Kids come home when they're hungry!
Now don't come back if you drown...."
My Father was always playing the clown..
River of time, all water under the bridge,
Time and the river, flowing away.
Things my Father used to say.

The Naked Truth
Whispers dance inside my head
Reflections glance at a substance dead
Confirmations of my unpoetical pen
Only white spaces mirrored back
No one has a word to say
The mirror tells I should go away
The oceans piers toss me deep
Into contemplation of my rude upkeep
Sheepish sins, bitter gin
The naked truth
No one reads my scribbles doo
Oh how my dribble makes me blue

What I Accomplished Today
What I had planned for the day is no longer an option for me.
20 minutes on a full body vibration machine
30 minutes in a sauna. Same for the oxygen bar.
A free lunch with my friend, but I cannot get to my car.
It has been pouring down rain for a few days. Everything is starting to flood.
Today I will be unable to meet my friend with a microscope who's fascinated by blood.
Turned on the television. Someone discussing Greek and Roman Parthenons.
Oh goody! What joy! It's an Ancient Aliens marathon.
Flipped open my journal looking for something to do.
Guess I'll enter a poetry contest or two.

A Young Girl From River Front
(Limerick)
A young girl from Old River Front
Got so hungry she went on a hunt
But got more than she care
When encountered a bear
So she ran, cuz that was too much to confr'nt!

River In Early July
Flowing, sparkling, refreshingly clear
Dipped in my toes, ah yes too cold -just as I feared

Man Lived By a River
There was a man who lived by a river
Wasn’t a taker but a giver
Gave away his only vest
Cos his friend was cold and perplexed.
Now all he can do is shiver

What a Lovely River Smile
Have you ever
Seen a hippopotamus
Running in cadence,
Alongside an
African, Kenyan man
Oh, what a lovely
River smile

Best About My River
Best About My River
What I always liked best about my river
Was many dreams to me it would deliver
And another and another was here waiting
For me and many more river kept making.
Put dream in bottle and down river did send
Which I wanted delivered to a waiting friend
Who on other side of ocean was waiting there
To read my brilliant poem beyond compare.
Not only was a dream nut also a poem inside
He picked up poem and read with much pride
Remember derelict Trump I had detected
Republican Party refused to have him selected.

Love By the River
Love by the River.
I carried the old fashion gramophone,
she carried the records to the river.
We sat and I kissed her while listening
to 1959 records.
Let´s have a dip. Naked we swam in
the moonlit river that cleanses disgust.
Her armpits had the aroma of clover
Started gramophone again, music back
then was so trite, lyrics boring and her
body looked enchanting in moonlight.
I threw the bloody music machine into
the river, she did ditto with the records.
We made love in stillness as trout waked
I regretted not having brought a fishing rod.

Hoo Noo
I met a girl in Cibecue
Who did not quite know what to do
Then down by the river
She turned Indian-giver
And I ended up with the flu

River Side Scene
Gone for the view
Sometimes maybe a swim
Or just fishing
In a quiet shore
Just alone gazing at each other
After an hour -a fruitless catch
Sighing, frustrated giving up
In each other's arms comforting
A strange feeling sparkled with a kiss
The warmth like never felt before
Waters, sand, grass and the sky yet watching
Only playful taunts revealed in giggles

River Moments a Six Pack of Senryu
the swans hiss
parental obligation
…warn the intruder
sunning turtles roll
drunks falling off of bar stools
…curse the kayaker
water lilies
mimicking ice cream cones
…licked by the bees
floating overhead
an Osprey admires himself
…a silent river
a pickerel darts
a frog croaks
…not just wordplay
the Geese look surprised
a cool riffling of feathers
…instinctual need

Summer Night On the River
The fading sunlight angles through the trees –
Strange alchemy that turns the river gold;
And on this balmy night with scarce a breeze
To trouble little ducklings gay and bold,
They sail and scoot around without a care
And do not see, submerged, the danger there.
In silence, in the shallows, lurks a pike.
He’s long and lean with hunger. Lies in wait :
Young ducklings for dinner, that’s what he’d like,
But then, a passing heron seals their fate.
He splashes down amongst the waving reeds
And scatters ducklings safely back upstream,
Apart from one, who paddles without fear
Downstream, accelerates towards the weir !

Slight Dim Please
The lighting, it was over-bright
So much so that I could not read
Your book of hills and delta bright
The lighting, it was over-bright
This time can you tone it down slight
I understand you feel our need
The lighting, it was over-bright
So much so that I could not read
