Present Ten-se

A few more senryu

Present Tense

Apprehension builds,

the magma of discontent

boiling with fury.

Going Viral

Getting excited

about an internet post

can be infectious.

My Coffin

Hammer the nail hard

for you need to seal the lid,

make sure it's shut tight.

Puncture

The tyre was so flat,

it took a lot of hot air

to re-inflate it.

Foxed At The Quorndon Fox

Such over priced beer!

Exploiting the customer,

so bad for business!

Sedentary Guilt

She's gone to the gym,

trying to get fit again

as I type this poem!

Departure From The Facts

Poetic licence,

perhaps a conduit to

poetic justice.

Watching Clocks

Tick talks loud to me,

passing strangers in the night,

chances slip away.

Pipe Dreams

I dream in blue hues,

of luscious lips and pert breasts,

sharing ardent sex.

Perchance To Dream Again

On midnight's pillows

I fall amid fitful dreams

of sweat soaked kisses.
