Written whilst in Prado, looking out up at a statue of Thomas Gainsborough, lording it over the activities of the Avon lady’s market stall. Gainsborough lords it high above cerise-pink hood; a flower above all flowers – its bed of make-up puckering lips up for a kiss. Gainsborough smiles, his lips all pink andContinue reading “Silly Poem – Pink Lippy”

Silly Poem – Wednesday Morning
Wedded. Wedded to my nest, for this morning, this grey-ghastly-ghoulish morning, I say my vows, and write until my gangrene growls and grizzles its way to Godliness.

Savvy Letter – Dear Phantom
Dear Phantom Puncture Pr***, Perhaps, who knows, you are a very nice phantom? Personally, though, Phantom Puncture Pr***, I’m not so keen on your preferred pastime.

As one whirlpool continues on its descent downwards,Continue reading “Savvy Book -The Lost Boy”

A Something Poem – Find Me
Within these walls, find me, papered over with books. The walls of my life paper over me, lifting up my lining, and my lines, with pulp of mashed-up fiction, mostly read. And truths, mostly unread. More of all of it unread than read. Probably. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, 14th October, 2019 Image by Free-PhotosContinue reading “A Something Poem – Find Me”
Savvy Books – Not Yet Wall
Independent Scotland Would England really be better off without Scotland or, post Scottish independence, would a wall need to be built to stop the English from stepping over the border to Scotland? These are the questions that led to the the novel I am currently working on, with the aptly-named title ‘The Wall’. Little did IContinue reading “Savvy Books – Not Yet Wall”
