Towns. New towns. Telford. A new town crushing the old. Dawley? Madeley? Both gone. The people? New. Brought fresh in. Fresh in from London. Fresh in, complete with new blood, still to be spilled over. Spilt blood in Shropshire’s fertile fields. Fresh growth. Potentially. Instead, yellow bricks and concrete slabs, stained blood-red pink withContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Old Towns Cry”

Savvy Poem – A Storming Morning
Inspired by the phrase ‘storming morning’ coined by Fantasynovel1@wordpress.com, in the poem ‘Shattering’. Storming into a morning that I know is not really there, I find myself nagged into wakefulness by the lure of a coffee, that I hope is not really there, by my side, waiting for me. Sure, I know, I’ll stir longContinue reading “Savvy Poem – A Storming Morning”
Savvy Poem – Content
Content is irrelevant. What’s relevant is lost in the flow of the post after post after post of meaningless messages churning round and round my receptors. Soggy messages: mushed up, dried out, crumbled and scattered. Bits swept up, sacked up and dumped – tipped into irrelevance, and skipped up into contentment.

Silly-Savvy Poem – Thursday
Trudging, hearse-like, in morning slumber – worse, I know, than swinging out to terrain of pink-dank carpet, cupped with hoops of tan (the stains of long-drunk coffee cups, and mugs, and breakfast bowls- uprooted from cluttered-clanks of kitchen chaos, to quell the thirst of mornings gone, of people past, of time thrown out, of thoughtsContinue reading “Silly-Savvy Poem – Thursday”
Savvy Poem – Distalk
A response to an article suggesting that staff at the BBC were told not to back Naga Munchetty, following viewer’s complaints about her jibe at Trump’s racist remarks. Do not talk to her. And do not discuss her disgust with the dissing. You must not disagree, disobey, or disappoint, unless you too want to be dissedContinue reading “Savvy Poem – Distalk”
Savvy Poem – Boulder Dough
Climate change, trolls, homophobia and racism dominate the news. Is this refreshing, not to hear about Brexit? Or, does it all roll in together – all kneaded up in a lump of dough – until, ball-like, it’s pushed nudged down, until it crushes us.

Savvy Poem – Inchoate
I choke, on the words that I am expected to suck in, to believe. I chew, on the words for just a short while, before I spit Continue reading “Savvy Poem – Inchoate”

She says ‘No!’ and it’s unexpected that she should think differently – it’s not part of the business plan of change – the re- turn to the start box.
