Jonathan ROBIN Poems

SEASONABLE ROUND ROBIN ROLE REVERSALS
SEASONABLE RETOUR KNELL
Kindly refer to Notes
...

First flits hairy horsefly, hovers over the hollows;
Fast flicks matchstick mantis her mandibles, - she swallows.
...

Man and Wife,
two terrible troubles,
torn by strife
while the birthrate doubles.
...

Heaven sent:
busy bee
hunting honey
buzzes by.
...

Now profit seems a dirty word,
or so some fine folk say!
but as I feel that is absurd,
at stocks and shares I play.
...

REGENERATION

Unchained, the hunter’s urge to roam
filters through chained chromosome.
...

AWAITING ROOM

Waiting Room am I to all drawn through
my space, trace day or two, weeks, more, few know
...

Three hundred ten from acorn cup my trunk, once slender, up and up
advanced to tickle sun and moon. I versify. Life's afternoon
slips into eventide to sup beside the golden buttercup,
among the joyous saplings strewn, no longer hidden, bounty, boon.
...

Pride ride stall's stored before corpse falls tongue-tied.
Cruel Fate rules, baits fools, schools, thrusts dreams aside
presumptuousness proves shortcomings, schemes
to turn Time's tables undone from inside.
...

WALLS ARE THREATS, enhance insecurity,
Anathema to inner songs truth sings,
Locks internal, defensive drawbridge swing,
Linked blinkers leading to obscurity.
...
