Odd, flat, discordant
Weird, sharp, cacaphonic
Day out of kilter

I've doctored this photo (that I took about 5 years ago) to express the feeling of dislocation and general weirdness I've been experiencing: a lack of sleep; loss; change.

Calendar Girls (& Men!) photo shoot for Mask Theatre this morning. We bared all, for a good cause!

For the Month of May,
I bared all, modesty masked
By foliate head!

#17thOctober #haiku365

For Mask Theatre's upcoming production of Calendar Girls, we took over Leeds Hall in Eye this morning and bared all for a charity calendar. I will be shocking the month of May as the Green Man; one of these was up top, one was below! The things we do in the name of art! 😆

Calm is as calm does;
For each of us, different:
For you, some peace now

The stewardess flashed a puzzled look, but joined in with the laugh: I imagine you have to deal with a lot of nutters and lame jokers in her line of work.

The rest of the flight passed calmly enough, and we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta bang on time.

I decided to head for the coast.

When Death saddles up
He'll bring all your memories
For a final ride

My mother-in-law, Audrey Hampson, taken back in 2020, as the dementia really started to bite. 

Find some peace, now, Aud, we'll miss you.

Of existence that has made
The World a better place.

#PoemsAbout #Bites

The Apple and the Tree

He took a bite of stolen apple,
so sweet, he had to share—
he passed it on to another.

Bite by bite it disappeared, 
until there was only just the core.

Tossed away without a thought, 
that core found fertile ground. 
Slowly it took root,
and grew into a tree.

Its fruit was not as sweet—
Rather it was bold.

Beware.
That fruit bears a name.

That name is Jane Doe.

Be bold.
Stand tall.
Use your voice to bite back—
and muzzle the thieves and liars.

Although once cast away,
like an apple core—
Jane Doe became one more
tree amidst the forest.

Be warned —
We’re all Jane Doe.

I remember the pressure
I remember falling into a chair
I remember calling for my wife.
I remember the #siren
I remember the ambulance
I remember the nurses
I remember the doctor
I remember waking up

Knowing I was going to be okay

#vss365 #quake

I breathed deeply, calming the quake in my pulse.

"What did I shout?" I asked innocently as she handed me my drink: she'd heard the 'e'; ice in separate glass; water jug, too.

"Nothing comprehensible, sir."

"That's a relief," I said, with a cheeky smile, "Then no one has to die."

Quake, rattle, and roll
Original rock music
Don't gather no moss
