Jonathan ROBIN Poems

C ongratulations! Timeless trophy Gold
O r Silver, Bronze, straw drawn from empty hat.
Nothing less bling could be awarded that
G ains credibility once dunce tale'e told,
...

Upstairs, downstairs, in Lady's Mary's room
see lurk smirk Turk, loom horseless carriage groom,
Ship sinks, Earl thinks future prospects grim
Will inks land's links threatened, sails a 'trim,
...

Lateral thinking
overspills mind's boundaries
streamlining, winking.
...

If we could blow Monsanto
to smithereens, free seed
some soul-song esperanto,
nor brave new world nor panto-
...

NOISE AND EQUIPOISE
Noise:
A signal the individual is unaware [s]he could decipher
...

WE TAKE NO NOTE OF TIME

We take no note of Time save from its loss,
Expecting our eternity to last
...

MONSOON

Syllable bubbles
start part dart from monsoon's heart
...

TONGUE TIED

Insatiable desires octopus [l]ink the years,
tentacle grey cells, snakeworm squirming through the mind,
...

WHOLESALE SOUL SHORTSALE

A sail – [b]rave paling, ailing – craving recognition from the dead sea mirror reflection of man’s insolent anonymity - not a pretty picture.
...

The same discrete blue paper and the old quill pen still play
upon the mind to summon summer's memories as day
melts darkling sky from dusty pink to inky undertones, -
extrapolating time's ebb tide, when flesh fades from the bones.
...
