  1. SSC

    Wing Commander Green
    World land speed record bloodhound
    Noble endeavour.
     
  2. Bank holidays.
    Always raining.
    Why?
     
  3. OK, try this:

    Bank holiday blues
    Rain sweeping in from the west
    Streaming roads. Why me?
     
  4. Beowulf

    Geat prince of the rings
    Dragon-worms’ warrior-death
    Grendel and his dam.
     
  5. Diana

    The queen of our hearts
    Paris killed, Althorp buried
    Candle in the wind.
     
  6. End

    Death comes to us all
    Uncertain, unknown but sure
    No escaping it.
     
  7. Regret

    She’s hitting forty
    Now childless and unfulfilled
    Wanted a career
     
  8. In search of lost time

    Another work day
    Bartering life for money
    Price is going up
     
  9. In search of lost time #2

    Could sit here all day
    Skirting around the issue
    Procrastination
     
  10. Married Life

    My black Ducati
    Sits silent still unridden
    More obligations
     
  11. Autumn

    Days are drawing down
    Gone the barbecues and beer
    Squirreling nuts now





    Bit of a productive shower/drive into work.
     
  12. I was thinking of posting one on this topic, but I didn't get around to it.

  13. Roads twisting skywards
    Serpentine in the valleys
    Alpine wonderland

  14. No good planting grapes
    On a scrubby tableland
    A pig digs black gold
     
  15. A pair of Armstrongs
    One passed on but immortal
    The other hollow
     
  16. Parched lavender fields
    No one seen in shuttered squares
    South of Sisteron
     
  17. Gas mask rubber whip
    Black gleam soft sheen hugging curves
    I'm coming Mistress!



    (maybe entice some people over from the tattoos and piercing thread. This is feeling like a couple of people at a party no one else showed up for!)
     
  18. Fireflies and glow-worms
    Humble creatures to study
    Illuminating.

  19. Wrote to please herself
    Did Emily Dickinson
    That’s her attraction.
