Inspired by a reading of Philip Larkin’s poem, ‘High Windows’, within his anthology of the same name, whilst struggling to come to terms with a Monday morning – helped, in part, by a pot of tea in a Waitrose cafe. Spilling milk, and feeling jugged, I gather up my teapot, spilling water – hot,Continue reading “Serious Poem – Monday Morning”

Serious Poem – A Monday Quest
Frenzied poems, I pencil down, in quest to quash the angst of a Monday morning in Waitrose – flowered ceramics with words of stewed-up tea. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, 7th October 2019 Seriousish Poem – Moreover Savvy Style – On The Flat Savvy Book – The Hidden Life of Trees

Silly Poem – The Truth
Is the truth to be measured? Does it matter how much of all of it is the bit that is true? Or is it okay just to believe – in all of the bit of it and all of the rest? Copyright owned by Jay Cool, October 2019 Image by PDPics from Pixabay Savvy StyleContinue reading “Silly Poem – The Truth”

Silly Letter – Dear Mrs Moo
Dear Mrs Moo, I’m sorry that I did it, but what else can I say? I mean, how can I justify myself in this case? I know that your milk was produced with the sole intention of seeing your calf through to existence but, you must understand, I too was in need at that time.Continue reading “Silly Letter – Dear Mrs Moo”

Silly Poem – Winter’s Approach
October cold nips at thighs and calves. I wrap them, tuck them in, try to be at one with the shape of my chair. It’s a swivel chair. Once shaped, will I be able to twist, turn and spin into takeoff? And, once airborne, will I be able to land? Or, will that be meContinue reading “Silly Poem – Winter’s Approach”
