Gaunt face drawn in desperation
Waiting on street corner
Frantic for a fix
Face relaxes
Smile breaks out
As tube of nicotine hits

Style
English men in flipflops
Generally look quite unpleasant
I don't know if it's just the footwear
Or the rest of the outfit that does it
A burnt red head's not a great start
And (I'd've thought) must be hard to keep shaving
The pendulous belly? A container
For them to put all that ale in

Self Harm (ii)
(on reading quote by comedian Russell Kane: "In any group of friends you get the funny one, the nerdy one and the single girl who self harms")
No need to look for healed scars on my skin
My cuts are all in my mind
And thoughts
Not razors
Do the damage
Which isn't without, but within

Groundwork
If I ever have children I think I'll be prepared
After sharing a flat with two men
Currently unable to sleep through the night
They wake the poor sleepers around them
I'm not equating dirty dishes with nappies
And our bathroom is clean (more or less)
But I think that this is all laying groundwork
As I believe babies can cause quite a mess

Online Dating
So I thought that I'd try online dating
To see if there was a man for me
But the only men that found me attractive
Were between fifty and 103
I ticked all my preferences boxes
Not many - I'm not that fussy, I swear
Just things like "must have own teeth"
And (preferably) "own head of hair"
But the replies are not flooding in
From tall handsome strangers in lust
Maybe I should have been less demanding
And are "own teeth" really a must?

Valentine
Harassed men with damaged flowers
hastily bought at service stations
Wonder how they confounded
their wives' high expectations

You said you wanted a poem
I said I'd see what I could do
So here it is
It rhymes as well
And it was written just for you*

*(ok, it's more like a limerick but you can't have everything)
