JJ Evendon Poems

I have scoured distant galaxies
peered at the very fringes of the known universe.
Witnessed the mighty destruction of supernova
and watched comets blaze their trail through the heavens.
...

I hear a noise like rushing wind.
See stars move around the heavens.
Planets spin crazily around their suns.
All watched with conscious thought
...

When I listen to the news and what is said
I hear nothing but conflict and scores of the dead.
We always say 'Life is for living'
so then, why so much killing?
...

Listen.

I see a lady smile.
Is it for me,
or her daughter?
Intoxicating.
...

She struggles to finish her novel.
A task she carries weightier than a mountain.
It's as if its changed - her creation, her love of words-
to become an unapproachable animal,
...

The road stretches far in front of me,
lined by Cotswold stone walls and old oak trees.
Light flickering through branches like peppered stars
reflecting slowly across the bonnet of my car.
...

It’s my third day and things are going well.
I’ve only fallen down once and it hurt like hell.
Today is going great and nothing is going to get in my way.
For I’ve fallen only once - and that was yesterday.
...

Coughs colds and flu
Stomach upset, run to the loo.
Streaming eyes,
now there’s a surprise.
...
