Cobwebs
By dawns early morning haze,
In admiration I did gaze,
At work of beauty so profound,
So intricate to astound.
An architectural wonder to behold,
A spiders web...designed so bold,
Assembled quickly with no noise,
A truly wondrous sight.
Suspended by silken threads of steel,
Threads extend like spokes of wheel,
A triangular web between two twigs
A deadly trap for flies to kill.
Covered in dewdrops it did shine,
A silken palace...so divine

Despair
Rejected, dejected, depressed,
A tightening pain in his chest
His whole life now in sad turmoil
No reason now for to smile
Policemen call to his gate,
Soon the court to decide his fate,
Abandoned by family and friends
Too late now to make amends
Leaving now his empty home,
In his car...he drives alone,
On trembling legs, unsteady gait,
He walks through fields,
Solemn faced,
Standing now on high cliff top,
Gazing down at sheer drop,
With heavy heart and tear stained eyes,
He whispers now his last goodbyes,
Angry too..he takes deep breath
Said 'F...k them all'
And then he leapt.
For David

Even More Nonsense
When Moses parted
The old Red Sea,
Did he catch fish
To bring home for his tea?
Does a hyena
Think its funny
When for his tea
He eats a bunny?
When the stars come out to play
Where do they go during the day?
Why does the wind not sit still?
Why does water run downhill?
How long for the sea to fill?
Why is the sky oh so blue?
Are fairy tales really true?
When an Asp Cleopatra did poison
Did he have a very good reason?
When the egg was first found
Did it perhaps? just lay on the ground
When the apple on Isaacs head fell,
Did he perhaps feel, unwell?
When Ben flew his kite
High up in the air,
Did Mrs Franklin stand, agape,
And just stare?
When William at an apple he shot
Did Mrs Tell faint.....because of the shock?
When Noah his ark he did float
After two weeks, it wasnt a joke,
He shouted 'Gas masks for all,
And stay upwind,
It would have been better
If we had just sinned! ! ! ! '

Evening
At evening time
An owl is calling
Oer the land
night is falling
Air scented wit new mown hay
Roosting birds waiting for bright new day.
In the dark night
No stars are shining
Oer the slumbering land
A gentle breeze, softly sighing.
