Sing sing sing

birds that play
fly freely
are never caught
make silly noises
and sing
sing
sing

Our demise

a dark descend
there is only fear
yet forgiveness
my dear friend

I pray
and put to rest
the beginning
of our end

Get on your knees!

get on your knees
and colour
the lands

do it with verve
and the patience
it demands…

The damp of a dog turd (naughty version)

smoking hot
from ass to grass
a soft brown substance
came to pass

The damp of a dog turd (the nice version)

early
on a sunny spring’s morn
something beautiful
and odorous was born

Old ladder

overhead
watchful ornament
reached for the top
to some extent

old ladder
hanging bare
bears witness
a silent stare

Oh spring

oh spring
with your colourful splendor
so vivid
a canvas full of
natural hues
so tender
an annual reprise
every time
you overwhelm me
and take me
by surprise

Baby bunny

new to life
fearless
yet frail
waggling
it’s tiny tail
freshly furred
brown ha(i)re(d)
and slightly scared
a baby bunny hops
on my grass
mixed with weeds
en masse
as birds sing
and bugs bug
the bunny
freezes
whilst an ugly orange cat
goes into stalking mode

I have to break up the party…

My dna

unwanted chains
impaired by strings
of twisted cells
and all it brings

good and evil
do their duty
mixed dark and light
entwined with beauty

my dna
can’t go away
inherited
is here to stay…

Global warming

I warm
to anyone…
anyone who is kind

locally
or globally
I don’t really mind

First sun

first sun
what fun
no more depression
after spring
has sprung

april is here
flowers in gear
roses coming out
all the children
bloody shout

first sun
such fun
the rays are here
and the noise begun

Wolf

nocturnally
p’rtaining to the night
the animal wast adrift
and howling out of sight

Danny the Dalmatian

you’ve spotted me
said Danny
to the overlooking tree

you look
like you are thirsty
so I will kindly wet on thee

I also left you
a fragrance
to freshen up thy bark

so you smell nice
alone
in this landscape oh so stark

Als je de weg kwijt bent

als je de weg kwijt bent
kies dan een ander pad

No fly zone

a fly
couldn’t fly
in a zone
of his own
so he disguised himself
as a book
but his cover was blown

A courtyard of stone

an old man
playing a violin
devotes
his melancholy notes
to the sun
a blue sky
and a few birds
passing by
whilst forgotten chansons
echo off the walls
of shut shops
beneath a plane tree
almost alone
he brings tears
and joy
to a courtyard of stone

Reigns of sunshine

always here
always there
with sovereign strength
illuminating
at great length
dominating heat
we can’t beat
much longer
the reigns
of sunshine
are getting stronger

Consumed and absorbed

I want to be consumed by nature
and absorbed by fate
I need to travel with the light
before it is too late

Basket case

She, in the garden

standing
twirling
absorbing
rays
watching
bees
and butterflies
fly
on colorful sunny days
circling
around her
she stays
She, in the garden
