Eyes of the Judges

Ten times ten And ten times ten thousand Everyone watching everything – everywhere Nothing and no one escapes those looks Seeing – knowing – judging Glowing with their superiority Their eternal rightness of being While the watched struggle and strive Just to stay sane and alive With no time for perfection Or to wallow inContinueContinue reading “Eyes of the Judges”

Tact and Impotency

Tactfully I don’t say what I’m thinking What would be the point? I’ve tried and tried until I’m tired You have your own views And anything I could contribute Would come from my reality My experience My raison d’etre I can’t give you the will or desire That would fire you with the enthusiasm ToContinueContinue reading “Tact and Impotency”

Perfect 10

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. George Ford The England Ruby player who distinguished himself by winning all 27 points yesterday. I’m not a big fan of Rugby, but I do prefer it to watching millionaires cry on their coach’s shoulder when horrid people expect them to take a penalty. YesterdayContinueContinue reading “Perfect 10”

I deal with things toContinueContinue reading “Never”

You probably do but we think about them as rainbows not that we’re seeing what light looks like. A small tweak in thinking can make a big difference to the way youContinueContinue reading ““I’m Talking ‘Bout Good Vibrations””

Small Big Things

My life has come down to small things I once dreamed of big things But now inconsequential things Make me happy And yet they are the bigger things The real things Do I feel good? What fun can I have today? The dreams that disappeared On the path of survival Don’t matter Because they wereContinueContinue reading “Small Big Things”

I’m Old?

I’m writing this down because I’m old I know the rules I mustn’t think that I could remember these words Because I’m past it Over the hill On the long slippery slope To happiness Finally You though I was going to say something else Admit to being a has-been Admit that the world has passedContinueContinue reading “I’m Old?”

Rise Up

This poem was inspired by fellow writer, Debra Reay. Like myself and many others she has been through hell and come out of it as her own person. It is also dedicated to anyone who has had to fight to be themselves, and to the amazing women in my groups, all of whom have risenContinueContinue reading “Rise Up”
