Like blood, they pour on to the ground
A rain spattered permanent sore
The Cenotaph stands high above all
White bone monument forever raw
Etched with the misery of millions
To ‘The Glorious Dead’ of the war

To Twit - to Who?
So I twitter, uploading my musings
In 140 characters, no more
So the world can read my ramblings
What I thought, what I did, who I saw
But my followers aren't great in number
In fact I've only got four -
My Aunt, Gran, the dog and my stalker
..maybe one day I'll get more

Stilletto-ouch!
We wear fantastic shoes that look lovely
(But feel like a medieval torture device)
It's just one of those things women do
So that we look, not feel, nice

Trains
And still children call them choo choos
Tho trains haven't choo choo-d for years
Will they still call for their choo choos
When the last steam train disappears?

Hay Fever
Don't treat me like I'm contagious
There's nothing wrong with me
I know I'm sneezing and coughing
But it's my allergy

The Obsessor
I get overly optimistic
Interpret everything a sign you'll love me eternal
Which, I suppose, that you do
But only in a manner fraternal

Next Stop
I've turned into one of those women who weep on trains
Obviously undertaking an emotional journal
