Being: A Savvy Poem

To be a being, to be a me that is a being, I must not be benign. To be benign is to be immobile, immoveable, to be a sign of being just so. But being a being, that is a being that is me, I find myself not a being to be a something thatContinue reading “Being: A Savvy Poem”

200: A Silly Poem

  Today, by midnight, I’ll score two hundred hits. This day, two hundred days on, I’ll be a something that is older than the something that I am today. And then?   Copyright owned by Jay Cool, May 2019    Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay

1: A Diary

  I’ve done it! Volunteered myself for redundancy and signed on the dotted line. Redundancy seems a poor choice of word, and totally inadequate for a process that involves stepping into my new life; a life in which I will be anything but redundant, anything but a spare. In this life, I will be workingContinue reading “1: A Diary”

Full Coverage: A Savvy Poem

Cover me up, he says Nothing short, nothing cropped, and nothing tight.   Wanting to please, and wanting to cover up, to reserve myself – just for him, I buy it big and wear it baggy.   Hold it in, he says. I told you, didn’t I? I told you not to show; to showContinue reading “Full Coverage: A Savvy Poem”

Read Me: Reviews

  Put it all out there, say the speakers, inspirationally, as they do. Put it all out there, because you never know. You never know who might be out there, browsing, searching, clicking, liking, and who, out of all the people   out there might be the one – looking for something by you. WhyContinue reading “Read Me: Reviews”

The Way Through: SSS Politics

 ‘Can we find a way through this?’ she asks. A rhetorical question, requiring no response. ‘We have  a duty’, and ‘I believe that leaving the EU is the right way!’ Strange, as she was the one who voted to stay! I say the ‘one’, as she requires no other voice but her own. The ‘People’sContinue reading “The Way Through: SSS Politics”

A Something Poem – Master of The Wait

Being ginger, I last longer, even longer than the old Duracell batteries, because the idea of me, is far, far older than the idea of the battery, and having been around for so long, I’ve had so much longer to learn, and to master, all that there can possibly be to master.  To master allContinue reading “A Something Poem – Master of The Wait”

Is this the time?

Is this the time? I ask myself. Is this the time to write my part? Am I too late to make my mark, to give up work and make a start? And, if I choose to make that start, will I finish before I part? Is there a time? I ask myself. A time toContinue reading “Is this the time?”
