To be on form is to be sensationalised. To be on form is not to be real. To be on form makes no sense of any kind of nonsensical nonsense and is – in a sense – completely and utterly senseless. And, no, I am not just a someone – a someone striving to beContinue reading “Formalisation: A Savvy Poem”

More: A Savvy Poem
No more. No more do I want any more. More would be less, from my mooring point. Take me out. Untie me. Unleash me. Let me be more of nothing more than the more of me. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, May 2019 Image by Arek Socha from Pixabay
Assassin: A Savvy Tale
Sassy. Swinging her cloth bag, she saunters along the sauce isle, stopping only to grab her selection. Not Tesco tomato sauce, no – only the best for her (or for him)! Heinz it is. High sugar content needed. She pops the lid, peels back the silver seal, tips up the bottle, holds it highContinue reading “Assassin: A Savvy Tale”
A Scorcher: A Savvy Poem
I emerge from the edge of your denseness, and keep on moving, only stopping when I reach the space in which the tip of the sun’s longest ray reaches me to tap upon my head. In solidarity with this friendliest of touches,, I become a bright-orange glow, shining back at you – hot, hot, hotContinue reading “A Scorcher: A Savvy Poem”
Protest: A Savvy Poem

Fluttery Outlines: A Savvy Poem
Fluttery outlines. Bits of me sticking out and waving around – getting in the way of people, like the flags of countries yet to be born, nagging and persistent, but held back, just for a little while, by the niggles of a half-born breeze.

Blood-Tipped: A Savvy Poem
High forehead, raised eyebrow and eyes d r i l l i n g into the soul of the viewer; intelligent, curious – perceptive, even? But smudge-tipped nose and smoky knuckles, reveal the barriers within – foggy knots blocking coherent thoughts, foggy knots struggling to hold together the blood-tipped soul of the sitter.Continue reading “Blood-Tipped: A Savvy Poem”
Savvy Poem – Outsourced
‘House’, Pixabay.com So strange that from my womb you birthed before you ran into the womb of friends – cushioned up by their company, as you return to your once-was home – fleeted and flitting. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, January 2019 Inspired by ‘Pieta’ by Rainer Maria Rilke
Keep Moving
‘The UK will remain a leading military power,’ says Theresa May (Press Association, 30th July, 2018). Line yourselves up in orderly fashion. Keep calm. Take care! Smoothly does it. Single file! No holding hands! Best feet forward. Leave the bad soles behind. The hungry, the sick, the old and insane. Come on! Fit – toContinue reading “Keep Moving”
