Fifty, one-hundred, fifty, one-hundred, fifty, fifty, …. forgot WHOOSH! Electrical currents slicing through my head, down my middle, down to my toes, dizziness, spillages – milk, hot water, tea .. then … I remember, the thing I forgot … the thing I was trying to come off … Sertralin … Keep walking, don’t think, keepContinue reading “Serious Poem – Electrical Slices”

Serious Poem – Monday Morning
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
Serious Poem – Anxiety
Shuddering waves of washed-out goods needing some TLC – needing something. Something, or maybe someone to do something, to say something, to say that it’s okay, just to be the thing, the something, that is you.

Savvy Diary – The Torture
Just read a poem that arrived in my inbox, by Brandon Som. I struggled to follow many of the lines, as some were in languages other than English and, much to my shame, I am not even bilingual, let alone multilingual! Nonetheless, the following two lines stuck! Perhaps in the same way that a saw,Continue reading “Savvy Diary – The Torture”

Savvy Article – Womenostop
Pause. Just pause for a moment – either mid-sentence, or mid-life, and consider this question. Why is the beast that brings upon womankind symptoms such as: hot flushes, extreme anxiety, over-thinking and short-term forgetfulness labelled the menopause? It’s got nothing to do with ‘men’, or with ‘pauses’, other than that it gives ‘men’ an excuseContinue reading “Savvy Article – Womenostop”
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”
54: One More Day
I’m still here. And, still to come, is one more day of the day job. To make thoughts of tomorrow more palatable, I imagine a look-after-themself-only type being situated on a Subbuteo pitch. A large forefinger and thumb descend from on high. Flick. FliCK. FLICK. FLICK. The ball bounces off the goal post, pinging backContinue reading “54: One More Day”
Edges
The edges of me have holes in. Gaps in the fortifications, making it easier for you – to ping your view of me, into the spaces, thinking to make your mark, but I’ve played your table games before, in other places, with other players, and your view of me, pings back, at you –Continue reading “Edges”
