Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m beginning to think that a lot of people, young people in particular, live on another planet and are unaware of what the coronavirus pandemic is doing to us and what it means. I can understand why adolescents have had enough of being locked up in a flat with their moaning parents. Even the Playstation […]

Sorry Mum, I Think Dad’s Had Sex With Someone Else Again
Reading Time: 4 minutes You learn a lot of things watching television and reading newspapers. I’ve just finished watching the first series of Doctor Foster, a BBC drama series featuring a rather elegant senior GP and her mug of a husband. She would have forgiven him having a sex affair with a twenty-three-year-old dumb blond – an affair that […]
Paris Local Elections – Muck, A Duck, And A Schmuck
Reading Time: 3 minutes There’s nothing quite like a French election carried out after a pandemic not caused by a rat, a tasteless online video, and a duck trying to gate crash Cyrano de Bergerac performed at the Comédie Française. The second round of the local elections taking place in Paris, has got that “je ne sais quoi” feeling […]
The Colour Of A Face
Reading Time: < 1 minute The colour of a face, The darkness of a place, Staring from behind, I am the one you find, I crash to the ground, and pray, You take my breath away, It’s me today, him tomorrow, You do not stop and have no sorrow, Let the men and women march, Down the avenue, under the […]
Eagle Of The Sky
Reading Time: < 1 minute The eagle of the sky, Asks the question why, To death, from birth, We don’t love the earth. Lost in the realm of fortitude, We miss the magnitude Of the Earth’s illness, Of our own madness. Run, rabbit, run, Not from the eagle, but from the sun. Global warming, The Heavens’ warning, It is not […]
The Departed
Reading Time: < 1 minute Forever in my heart and mind, You wander across the crystal lake, Happiness, you will find, Peace, you will make. I might be without you, You might have lost me, But time will see us through, And one day we will see, As everlasting entanglements of love, Continue to haunt us from above, Two souls […]
Nine Plus One Is Ten
Reading Time: < 1 minute I’m writing along, Singing this song, All night long. Number two, Tie up your shoe, Laces, We’re going places, With a puppet’s string, Just the thing. Three, four, Close the door, The puppet might escape, Sellotape, His box, And don’t forget your socks. Five, six, A box of tricks, At sixes and sevens, Up in […]
The Chrysalis
Reading Time: < 1 minute Looking into the future, I am frightened of the past, A fragile chrysalis, a butterfly that will not last, And yet you are stronger than the strongest girl, More beautiful than the largest pearl, Upon my shoulder, you search my soul, You fill me with fear I cannot control, And as you travel across the […]
Under The Bridge
Reading Time: < 1 minute Under the bridge I lie, Sounds of footsteps on cobblestones, City of Lights where love went by, A broken soul, fractured bones. I boarded the moonlit train, You said nothing I did not hear, The carriage moved, I felt the pain, Your absence awoke my fear. I jumped onto the golden rail, Searched for you […]

Facebook – 50 Shades Of Grey (Disintegrating) Matter
Reading Time: 2 minutes I don’t want to judge millions of people who absolutely swear by Facebook. I’m not even arguing with those who get a kick out of insulting others they don’t even know. I suppose it’s my fault – I mistook a boy for a girl, and then criticised him because he posted a video saying that […]
