Evening in Meva

orange and pink grapes
draped over trawlers
a sort of hum -

bongos in a garage
a couple talk about mother
baby-blue boat leaves the harbour

crisp paintwork, putting motor
ants crawl over coastal paths

drums swing out a rhumba
full kit

First Kiss

French campsite.
Boy called James.
From England,
glamorous then.
We were allowed to go off.
I seem to remember a wall,
his tongue in my mouth.
Didn’t know what to do with it.
I knew that much.
I think there were stars.

Holiday

it is clear
it gives a little light
it can be held and carried with you
it transforms a meal
it needs cleaning after use

Classifaikus rule.
Share yours with us. Do it now.
5-7-5 preferred.

Very few rules other than it must involve belly-laughs and/or a proper beard rubbing.

seeks tiny hands applauding.
No jazz haters, please.

Morning in Meva
Aqua shimmers like mackerel
Scales tessellated

Perverted, with own bleak house
Tale of two titties

A haiku for the swimming pool changing room.

I do not know you.
Yet our bodies have seen all
our folds and wrinkles.

the fork has great virtue
this lies in its spiky courage
being a golden mean between
the foolhardiness of the knife
and the cowardice of the spoon

A beautiful poem from my very clever friend.

[Bungler Bill @BunglerBill]

Here it is. Many thanks to @JackyPugh for comments on an earlier draft. Dedicated to the families and community of the Penlee @RNLI and volunteers on the sea everywhere.

A #fatgirl haiku

Heat: the enemy
of big thighs that like to walk.
Chub rub shorts save lives.

feed my vision
with damp slate
slake my ears
with rude caws
salt my tongue
on thick surf

A sign of summer.
Chevron-marked feet
where caution extended only
to the bottom of the legs.
A reminder of the times.

[FromBardtoVerse @VerseFrom]

Sun-smiled-on gardens
Filled with wine-soaked bodies.
Summer brings much-missed togetherness.
I hold you, because I can.
Joy abounds.

[Bungler Bill @BunglerBill]

come and taste the Atlantic sweep
that slaps the granite quoins
pause to glimpse the creamy churn and iridescent brawl godparent
barnacled rocks at their foamy baptism
kneel and pray
be born again
and again
in this strange beautiful sea
