sitting  in  my  garden  exercising  my  fertile  imagination  while  I  was
watching  a  dragonfly  flitting  around  whirling  and  twirling  at  will
as  if  it  were  being  guided  on  an  astronomical  flight
by
divine  influence  outside  of  itself  on  some  invisible  whirligig
never  stopping  flitting  or  fluttering  long  enough  for  me  to
see  the  translucence  of  its  beautiful  wings  in  the  light.

CANINE INTERPRETATION OF LOVE

Doublespeak is the way that my mum talks
when she says we’re soon going on our walks.
It could be an hour or more before she
is actually ready to go out with me.

I think she tells astronomical lies
when she looks directly into my eyes
and says that she adores me such a lot
cos the way she acts I think she does not.

I only want to spend MY time with her
Most of HER time’s spent with her computer.
Clear in translucence is MY love for Mum
but HER love for me’s at a premium.

One minute she tells me off cos I call for attention
Next minute she offers fertile showers of affection
This whirligig romance is hard for me to understand
but I’ll still always be there waiting for her next command.
