Fantasy

fantasy can rip you apart
and take you into the dark
or it can be lovely
and brighten your heart
the dark is behind us
may happiness bind us
when the dream is of love
and sweetens the night
it can lead us into the light

Dear Wilf

There was a Raven called Wilf

Fairly quiet, he kept to himself,

‘What do you do all the time?’ I asked.

He blinked his mirrored eye.

‘What do you expect of a bird?’

he said, ‘I observe, observe, observe,

and I fly when I need to fly.”

 

‘And does that make you happy?’ I asked

He nodded his head, ‘Oh yes,

my happiness is complete,

far more than you could ever guess,

but I also like talking to you

and dropping a seed here and there.’’

I smiled, ‘Ah yes. Your troubles are seldom and few.”

 

a ditty

there’s no shortage of sadness

– install a switch of gladness

to run all the happiest snapshots, quick,

it’s a very effective mood changing trick

analysis is all a theory

likely to make you feel dreary

at worst it may lead to madness

– so press that button dearie!
