Numinous: This Physical Thing

My stories are told from my toes; in the places between my joints, where vast expanses of sun-soaked-night sky are lit up by the flecks let loose from my mother bones; flecks, once broken, now holding their own – numinous.

Menopause: Silly-Savvy Poem

I pause, just for a nanosecond, to consider the flaw in the word menopause. Isn’t it women, they such as I, that suffer from the pause? And what is this pause anyway? Do women just stop, rest awhile, and take the time to consider, as I – am doing – now – the flaw? TheContinue reading “Menopause: Silly-Savvy Poem”

Happy Birthday: A Silly Poem

  Feeling hapless on his Birthday, he was reluctant to eat the chocolate cakes that,  courtesy of his colleagues, spelt out the Happy occasion.

But, Google being unable to deliver, all that he could come up withContinue reading “Happy Birthday: A Silly Poem”

Mechanical: A Silly-Savvy Poem

Image by aytuguluturk from Pixabay   They really messed it up when they made my brain – crossed-wires all over the place and thoughts profane.

Under No Circumstances

Under no circumstances must I: sing, fart, dance, or wear double-denim. And I should not – ever! Look like an old lady having a mid-life crisis!   I take this on board – it’s sound advice, so I change my act, because there’s nothing wrong, I think, with looking like a middle-aged lady, and beingContinue reading “Under No Circumstances”

And Like: A Savvy Poem

Why turn up the volume? Why drown out your own thoughts? Listen to yourself, to your own voice – and celebrate! Be what you were always meant to be. Just be. And like.   Copyright owned by Jay Cool, June 2019 Written in response to the post Thoughts Late at Night.   Drown yourself in JayContinue reading “And Like: A Savvy Poem”

Deadly and Serious: A Silly Poem
