I shake off the lines that led me to this point, and, in the aftermath, I feel the smoothness of the surface of myself, whilst considering whether I really know where the point is. Is it at the sharp tip of my artist’s B pencil? Is it at the tip of my Hubby’s Roman beak?Continue reading “Savvy Poem – Shrivelled”

Savvy Poem – Snowdon’s Foot
Vertical. Vertical does not go with vertical. Turning back, I stick to ground level. My right foot being crook, I remain at one with the foot of Snowdon. Pressure. Pressure is a cure for the pain. I apply it, settling myself down upon the arch of Snowdon’s foot, hoping to stunt the flowContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Snowdon’s Foot”
Savvy Poem – Nothing Illegal
‘Nothing illegal here, mate!’ he declares, as he passes a clear-plastic sandwich bag over to a consort. The bag, of course, containing a quantity of white powder, on full view for all passers by. The lad, of course, containing a head stuffed full with similar bags of white powder, where once sat a brain,Continue reading “Savvy Poem – Nothing Illegal”
Savvy Poem – Towyn
Block upon block of blocks Blocking the view of the blocks that front up to the sea that was the sea before it became the block that stopped the girls of this town from drifting away from the block-headed boys they did not choose to be blocked in by – the boys with the bagsContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Towyn”
Silly Poem – Conwy
In the smallness of it, I lift up coffin lid and hide in the spaciousness of all that is mine for keeps. As, in grandeur, my ancestor, Edward I, looks down from his castle tower, perusing all that is his, whilst longing for his own little place in which to be. Copyright ownedContinue reading “Silly Poem – Conwy”
Savvy Poem – Rhyl
Grandness barred cut off from rewards and renovations. Syringes injecting into the sandy grasslands the remnants of young lives attempted. Young eyes ringed in dark shadows, seek change, asking – not hoping – for a chance. Cashing themselves in for a second stab of the wire cutters, even as the maintenance guysContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Rhyl”
Savvy Poem – Port Dinorwic
A shadow of a boy hazy slings slate to the seas skimming off only the scum of a slither of a second. A scene snapped. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, August 4th, 2019 Savvy Diary – The Torture Savvy Article – Boris & Donald Savvy Book – Fuse
Savvy Poem – Towyn Trailer
Towing my brain into Towyn, aiming for something static to keep my thoughts from lagging behind my actions, from drifting off and taking on a form of their own or, worse, from sprinting on ahead of my slowing feet, I take the long road, slicing a cuboid city into two identical halves, myContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Towyn Trailer”
Savvy Poem – Chronoclastic
Time crushed into a Friday night, knowing that, on Saturday, one has to start thinking about structure – about the starters, mains and plenaries, the beginnings, middles and endings, that will form the basis of the plans, that, on Sunday, you will churn out, ready for the weekday lives that you are expected to giveContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Chronoclastic”
Silly Poem – Mind
I never mind them. Not much. And I don’t mind not minding them. Not at all. Why then, do they mind me not minding them? That, I mind! And is that wrong? No, not to my mind. As the only mind, to me, that I mind minding, is my mind. So,Continue reading “Silly Poem – Mind”
