Poetry Friday 23

The juggernaut steams on. Four poems for you this week although they are still works in progress.

Lotus

Gracious  
graceful 
A lotus flower;
pure
beautiful. 
Emerging from the muddy waters,

a smile.

From wrong,
comes right. 

Three’s a crowd

Feeling like a gooseberry

on my own date.

There’s three of us here.

Me, her and her phone.

Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat,

who knows what captures her

attention and leaves me

watching the top of her head.

I can’t compete with APPsent

friends.

Their omnipresence haunts our liaison.

Then she looks up and smiles.

This was fun – she says, – shall we do it again?

Stupendously

Signs of happiness.

Tastes and moments of time.

Update status.

Put it out there.

This one moment of

enjoyment

in a life less ordinary.

No one needs to know the doldrums,

that haunt you so.

Outwardly you project

utter contentment.

So when they ask you –

how’s life going?

You answer –

stupendously.

And a little haiku to finish. It's a bit rude. 

A Shanghai Surprise

A tinder date of 

elegance, beauty and charm. 

Shame she had a dick.

Join me next week for Poetry Friday 24, maybe.
