Here are a couple of poems I posted to LJ last year and decided to try them here. I do not think I am a good poet though but any criticism is always good, yes?
Dilemma
by Jazzy D
I no believe in an almighty
As an atheist, it's all too flighty
But I believe in the evil
That man can do
And that the devil
Is incarnate in his desire
That brings out the fire
In wicked deeds
And so are sown the seeds
To his main function
And that is destruction.
I am no holistic mystic
But it is another brick in the wall
That keeps him shielded from the divine
And an idyllic future without any sign
And that is the saddest truth
Of man's dilemma.
Ground
by Jazzy D
Another
sunbaked desiccated day.
No more in the land of grey,
Everything today at a leisurely pace
Visiting the cathedral city in grace.
Selecting new stuff to keep
To add to my growing heap.
We collectors that forage around
To get the next new vibrant sound
Will always be beckoning and around
Simply we never -
And not
stay still
fixed to the ground.

Jan. 8th, 2022 08:38 pmIn the end, I did pop out to town despite the weather.
I did another charity shop from one of the companies I work for and as the shop was locally based in Faversham, I thought I would do it today. I gave them a donation bag of clothing and bought two paperbacks.
I then popped into my local pub and had the chargrilled chicken with lemon and herbs, spicy rice, and coleslaw. My neighbour diagonally above me here in Waterstone Place, Tim, was there talking to another regular.
I washed down the food down with a pint of Wantsum Dynamo ale (4.3 % ABV).
I also heard some gossip as well. Bob at number 11 is banging the daughter of John the Hat at number 1. The daughter has a teenager as well who likes Tim very much as a friend only. I also discovered that many years ago Tim was in jail alongside the Kray twins! I am not certain about what he was in jail for, but he knew Ronny very well.
There is something about a pub. You see all walks of life in such places.
The curtain twitchers are still twitching. I am a persona non gratis with them and really, I do not care at all. Even Tim has had words with them. Nosy parkers really rile me up.
Oh well, back to the music.
