The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Posters

Art deco, so briefly king,
revived in my heyday,
Alphonse Mucha a hero
and Beardsley pen and ink.

I made my contribution
in posters with a dash of Lautrec,
advertising pop concerts
and stolen for students’ digs.

Temptation 2

Baking bread, the warmest smell,
wraps itself within your being,
curls up cosy in your soul,
sets the taste buds tingling.

Fills your dreams with radiant heat,
tips the tongue with crusted charm,
begs the butter basted well,
drips the jowls with anticipation.

Scattered

Waking in the morning
eyes sleep-sealed


stretched
out

in the dark


cantilevered legs under the covers


and the dawn






about to pounce.

Fireflies

Fireflies are punctuation
on the page of summer nights
intermittent semaphore
in a language of lights

Blink their secret messages
upon the darkness blind
drift in silent flighted scrawl
their magic to impart.
