Rainbows

If the grass is always greener in someone else's field
You should take off those rose-tinted glasses
and see what's actually revealed

Weighty Issue

If you didn't want me when I was fat
Why should I want you
now that I'm not?

Cambridge in summer

Graduates in gowns
Clutch orange Sainsbury's bags

Tourists taking selfies
Need proof they were there

Stabbing

Knives are out
Metaphorical
Political

Ultimately pointlessly
All fight each other

Indefensible

Insensible

Better armed foes
Attack the undefended

Barbed Wire Queen

It's good that I'm a cynic -
else, each time I'm let down
I'd get upset and miserable -
would cry, might pout, could frown
Instead of which I smile
(A false one, but convincing)
Then I get busy with the razor wire
and add another line of fencing
