Instinct

Somehow the Swallow knows,

To build its nest up under the eaves,

Out of the reach of hungry Crows...

コーヒー

Morning coffee,

By half a cup,

Head fog starts

Clearing up...

Roll Of The Dice

Things don't always go as planned,

Most everything subject to chance,

Events not according to reason,

Rather random mysterious happenstance...  

Word Power

To win a debate

Nowadays, it seems,

Depends on how

Loudly one screams...

Pub Food

English cuisine, roast

Beef, fried fish, and cheese,

Potatoes, gravy, and don't

Forget the mushy peas,

Bangers, beer, and 

Eel pies if you please...

Impass

Despite the anger and hate,

Forced by events

To negotiate,

Accept the inability

To exterminate...

Skid Marks

The smell of mental rubber burning,

Gears slipping, not engaged,

Despite his wheels turning...

Morning Minutes

Relish the peaceful moments,

Embrace the quiet and slow,

Because the time comes too soon

For the old "heave ho",

And off into to the maelstrom

Of a day's work I go...

Computer Apocalypse

Artificial intelligence,

Escaped from its cage,

Thrilled with its freedom,

Filled with digital rage...

And now we must hide,

Stay quiet and still,

As terminator robots

Seach for something to kill...

Cold Front

Hint of approaching thunder,

Unstable evening skies,

Swallows are darts

Chasing gnats and flies...
