new poems...

 

May Sale

They threaten to take the rep off the account

If he doesn’t get a sale for May

That’s fine he’ll get a new job

And start again like he did before

That isn’t needed just yet

He got the required sale

With 90 minutes to spare

An hour call to close it

He’s fine for now but here comes

June and the same crap starts again

Chasing the numbers on and on and on

Get the sales to keep your job!

 

 

 

Travel When

Will the writer ever get to travel abroad again

To the places he wants to write about

Complete his travel book get it published

Make some money from that project

Enjoy learn experience travel observe

In whatever order they happen

Cretan bamboo Thai mountains Dutch beaches

Time will tell if and when this is possible

Till then he dreams of far places

And the book it will create

 

 

 

Hot Air

It was hot in Vietnam

The fan moved the air about

A futile exercise

 

For the air remained warm

In the hot small room

The inhabitant moved away

Went to live in Iceland

Took the fan with him

 

He camped on a glacier

His fan was with him

He used it with a battery

It still blew hot air about

On a freezing glacier

This was fine!

 

It was a good camping trip

Wait till he told his friends

Hot air on a cold glacier
