Big Nose

We met in the pub
not Ansells or Yates's
but Microsoft's bar
with no beer or faces
we typed our hello's
she had witty one-liners
we went to a room
where no-one could find us
we talked through the night
and then through the autumn
i overcame coyness
she cast off her caution
she offered her number
and then her address
we posted our photos
but she wasn't impressed

When he left her

nor any appliance
he thought that it might unsettle the children
if things started going missing

Via Rugby

The van door said
how's my driving?
I followed it to Rugby before deciding:
average

Nature Poems

You don't need a bee's eyes to see a flower
I have seen a flower through a bee's eyes
On television
-
Many animals are multi-lingual
Philosophers overlook
Whether animals make unnecessary noise
-
Don't touch that tiger. It's risky
-
New species always are given new names
We will never see another living great auk

Nurture Poem

It is wrong
To try to shake the insects from a child's hair

Hard To Say

I could spell it out on Valentines Day
in roses or neon, or on your birthday
a light aircraft above your house
trailing the words...
but it is writ large here: I LOVE YOU

Some things are hard to say
