May.
The merry month of may they say,
lilly of the valley on
display,
the roe deer drop their young,
hover fly, I hear their
hum.
Trees in leaf, the canopy thickens,
the pace of forest life quickens,
birds, hyperactive days of
activity,
fetching and carrying in servility.
Larger animals quietly
preoccupied,
their noises not so amplified,
stay down wind on a sunny
day,
joyfully watching young foxes play.
An evening walk could bring
delight,
badger cubs a pleasing sight,
parents too, join in the
fun,
spirits raised by a setting sun.
Fully aroused from winters
rest,
nature functions at its best,
things happen at alarming speed,
an
atmosphere of joie de
vive.

Bluebells.
Bluebells.
The browns of winter shrugged off
April yields is spring toff.
Moist shady environments provide
conditions where bluebells thrive.
Hoards of glorious blues and greens
cast aside the in betweens.
Attention seekers all around
I wish they'd stay all year round.
Watch them in a gentle breeze
all together if you please.
Left then right, now stand still
wait the breezy masters chill.
At their best in April May
in June they start to fade away.
Back to earth from whence they came
asleep, rejuvenate their perennial
game.

Buddy Holly
Buddy Holly.
Lubbock, Texas, his place of birth
nineteen thirty six he graced the
earth.
A short life twenty two years
a plane crash ended in tears.
Holly, Ritchie Valens, Big Bopper too
their bodies found freezing and blue.
Grant Township, Iowa, the locality
the world shaken with reality.

General, Colin Powell.
Colin Powell
Of Jamaican stock a South Bronx boy
Harlem a place to make or destroy.
Nineteen thirty seven birth year
Comes Love, Billy Holiday here.

Doors and windows kept locked
guns loaded and cocked.

more happy go lucky, cool.
City College of New York
a geology degree no cake walk.
C average student pass
lower half of the class.
Military school his thing
comfortable,understanding.
Viet Nam he first saw war
a punji stake shortens his tour.
In 'sixty eight a second try
faulty helicopter leaves the sky.
Colin injured he rescues three

A four star General he became
invited to join the political game.
The first coloured Secretary of State

Madonna
Madonna.
Buddy Holly made it clear
with 'Heartbeat' he was here.
Madonna made her earthly entry
the birth seemingly elementary.
Nineteen fifty eight the year
the third of the family was here.
Bay City, Michigan, the place
mill workers, shipbuilding populace.
A spoilt child, bossy, wild
also generous, beguiled.
Not a poor family for sure
father an ambitious doer.
Clever girl at school
in exams nobodies fool.
Out spoken about people
often provoke and needle.
A veracious exhibitionist
learning things to exist.
Drums, guitar, synthesizer,
vocals, an ambitious winner.
Singer-songwriter, director
entrepreneur, actress, author.
Confident about going far
philanthropist and superstar.

April
The start not much different to March
on dry days wood ants march.
From sticky buds in March I see
green leaves on the chestnut tree.
When April is wet earthworms abound
blackbird and thrush search the ground.
Slowing a little when the ground is dry
surfacing worms a little shy.
The blackbirds season longest of all
March to July as I recall.
Rows of poplars orchestrated foliation
all together reach maturation.
Unpropagated trees great variation
male and female ancestral causation.
Early morning the cuckoo's sound
then a burst of activity all around.
A blaze of colour at my feeding tray
young and old what an affray.
Marsh tits, nuthatch, chaffinches too
the robin patient admiring the view.
The green woodpecker sits on high
I see its reflection against the sky.
French partridges looking for scraps
all day, will they ever relax?
As dusk comes things quiesce
not a great deal of mess.
All in all a fascinating day
what a treat watching birds at play.

Brief Encounter
An uneasy glance
across the room, a second glance none to soon
she’s looking at me that’s for sure, she’s very smart with much allure.
The guys she's with seems to care, his arm around a waist that's bare
she turns him with his back to me, her eyes just say she can be free.
An uneasy wriggle in my seat, where and when can we meet?
who is she then and what her name? I sure enjoy this flirting game.
I reach the bar and get a drink, then ask the barmen “who's that in pink”?
he shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly, I haven’t a clue who she can be.
I’m heading back to my seat, her lovely perfume my nostrils meet
I think he's twigged it I saw him glance, our sly glances spoiling the chance.
He then heads her to the door, she gives that look, what’s this for?
my stomach sinks we've lost our chance, a brief encounter has no romance.

Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson.
Gary, Indiana his place of birth
not a pastoral paradise on earth.
Thick smoke plumes filled the air
grimy, industrial, landscape bare.
Nineteen fifty eight the year
eighth of ten to appear.
Michaels father bullied him
early days frightening, grim.
Slagging Michaels youthful looks
constantly on tenterhooks.
Vomiting at the sight of father
mentally never to recover.
Luckily a talented boy
destined to bring great joy.
Starting with The Jackson Five
superb and bound to thrive.
Rhythm and timing Michaels gift
giving his fans a joyous lift.
Teaming up with Quincy Jones
producing some vibrant tones.
Thriller best and more to come
none to beat this great album.
Aged fifty Michael Jackson died.
left a world he'd electrified.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Austria nineneen forty seven not a utopian heaven. Occupying allied army troops trying to pacify starving groups. In this tragedy our hero born both parent a little forlorn. Mother out scrounging food using charm and aptitude. Father favoured the older son believed he was his true scion. Arnie abused at his fathers hands would not conform, obey commands. A lovely imaginative lucid mind determined to change his daily grind. Weight lifting at just fourteen keeping up a fanatical routine. A short stint in the military army things somewhat dilitory An amateur body beautiful title this signalled his arrival. Mr Universe aged twenty Olypian titles aplenty. Politician, actor, businessman what a fantastic attention span. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V3Te4rA7Ok |
