#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #CityBreak

City Break To explore each city, short lifetime’s a pity. To walk each street, to know, banks of some river’s flow. Each delicate eating place, each park or open space. With so much to tempt me, I’m footsore, purse empty. With much more to explore, I shall be back for more. @BardPharts 24 August 2025

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #WeAreWoke

We Are Woke! We of civilised regions despair so, we of educated thought still struggle. We the people who stand fast and care so, we are the people who refuse to buckle. They who hold the reins of our destinies, they who act against our best interests. They who, in offshore banks keep their Guineas, they, with society so unimpressed. Those who wish to remove our basic rights, those who use enormous amounts of spin. Those who take selfishness to new heights, those who are the enemy within. We are concerned with finding solutions, we, who acknowledge vast diversity. We, knowing of other’s persecutions, we, who call out this cruel absurdity. @BardPharts 13 August 2025

From Langdale beginning, miner’s daughter, was it at school you met the blacksmith’s son? Away to work at fifteen’s how it’s done. Did he follow you? Was it all laughter? Continually searching for employ, home is with children, better than someone working here, working there, no doubt like slaves.

Environmental Decay Warm summer sun, now this foul rain has stopped. Hails this healthy regime I must adopt. I’ll take to my bike again round the town, long walks are okay, but for speed I’ll opt. By the river, I put the warm bike down, here I pause, where river’s fleet is renown. A cormorant waits for lunch to swim by, where cool water tempts people into drown. I sit on a bench, let things catch my eye, there a fish makes effort to catch a fly. At times, a heron sits but not today and this year otters are a little shy. We’ve noticed decline in wildlife’s display, as we care for ourselves it’s with dismay that our environment starts to decay, everyone must take action without delay! @BardPharts 8 August 2025

$Lorry’s Burden Curtain sided wagons on the northbound M1, haul unknown heavy loads of thirty metric ton. This huge herd deftly manoeuvred by shy curators. Flat bed open trailers from makers and traders, show cargoes of large engineered parts, bricks and steel. These many wheeled lorries have so much raw appeal. Choice essentials circle a misty M60, along their side, printed amusing publicity. Continual charging, discharging day and night. We see only a fraction of this endless flight that gives our economy significant boost. This flock that always seems, it’s never home to roost. Round and round they all drive on the M25, flow thickens, wonder if they will ever arrive. Every mile grinding down the tyres with their loads this revenue they bring you’d expect decent roads. Underrated skills here is evidence perhaps, that without these arteries’ life blood, things would collapse. @BardPharts 9 August 2025$

Kraken and I Sailing out from the safe harbour, caught a stiff breeze blowing from the beach, I would need to go no farther. Then came this ear piercing screech, my yacht lifted from the water. I could only my god beseech. Sharp claws gripped, I feared my slaughter. Great height I fell, to foaming seas, the boat lost as the beast fought her. Bubbling foam, I had to break free, but scooped me up in ugly claws from among the broken debris. Towards those awful chomping jaws. Lifted me level with its eye to look me over, then a pause. This eye must be a metre high, snorted the foulest stench from hell then at once, came the saddest cry. From deep in its heart, I could tell, my arm could reach skin, slimy brown, this behemoth was surely unwell. The beast lowered me gently down with careful attention, then pay special care so I wouldn’t drown. Now I sit, wait, day after day with some medicine in my rucksack. I wonder if the beast’s okay and if it will ever come back? @BardPharts 10 August 2025

Now, get these cats to change their soulful tune, slow my brain at this creative hour, then finally lay my poor head to rest. I lie quiet, I know sleep will come soon. Too late!

Love You You stand me on a pedestal, then catch me, if ever I fall. You’ve always been incredible, something I don’t deserve at all. I did support you, you recall? Just when your self esteem was low, but I love you, just so you know. @BardPharts 7 July 2024

L’après-midi Sous mon parasol vert, l’air étouffante, cette faible brise chaude du sud ne suffit pas. Mon verre de bière vide, me rend pétulant, donne une situation délicate je vais finir dans un tel état. Je dois déplacer ma chaise longue comme hier et vais me chercher encore une bière. @BardPharts 27 June 2025

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #ForceOfNature

Force Of Nature Cerebral fireworks, behind my eyes, gives this colourful depth, wondrous visions of this universe that now shows herself her inert gravity has such raw force, out planet’s spin, always brings our sunrise, swinging us towards our next collision, then reaches out to far off Pluto’s wealth, like a clock, this power must run its course. With great fortitude we’ve earned this great prize over the years with each tiny decision has shaped who we’ve become by creeping stealth. Our future will require a greater force. @BardPharts 15 July 2024

Courte Vie Lorsqu'on est jeune, arrêtés par les flics, puis, plus âgés arrêtés par un manque de fric, on essaie d’entrer dans une certaine chic clique. Il y avait quelques bons moments hystériques dans cette vie courte, mais souvent ludique, qui nous laisse apprécier ces moments magnifiques. @BardPharts 5 July 2025

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #ChangeInTheClimate

Change In The Climate Trying to stay cool in the hot weather. Trying to look cool, keep it together. No breeze enough to move a small feather. I’ll just have to sit here and stay quiet, worry about the future of climate, with the whole world being run by a pirate. If we all had decent electric cars, hungry solar panels on lofty roof. Then nay say those who call it all a spoof. We’d still have to wait years to heal the scars. Must protest harder to protect what’s ours. Heavy industry is far too aloof, cease jet set holiday. And stop that goof continually messing with the stars. @BardPharts 4 July 2024

There is a perfectly good system in place for people awaiting settled status to prove their right to reside, work and rent.

Why can't they use the system used for 'settled status' people, requiring a unique code in order to find work and rent. 🤷‍♂️

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #Artificial

Artificial Some songs, no longer available live or pictures behind glass in galleries. Avoiding man’s desecration, survive. Our reality brings such small mercies. We age so fast, yet precious art endures, testament to man’s old creative heart as our ancient, naive knowledge matures that from the animals, keeps us apart. Ever since those early, dark cave scratchings, young humanity with all their trappings, started fragile, hidden, instructive art, through deep time and the writings of Descartes, all this way to our so-called modern age, we must, with our ‘raison d’être’ engage. @BardPharts 15 July 2024

Terrorist If you disagree with me, that’s fine, you’re allowed to protest all you want, write your shit on the walls, as a sign. We’re not arguing about a font, don’t feel like you must remain silent, don’t lift a finger, become violent. You should not be condemned for speaking out ‘cause it’s your democratic right to stand in the streets with friends and shout, your government shouldn’t get uptight if they label you a terrorist then we know they have become fascist. @BardPharts 3 July 2025

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #PrimalFear

Primal Fear This dark forest of fairy tales, where bears and wolves have always lived. We’re still tempted to take these trails, yet we know in the depths they’re hid. Our scent, noise, easy to follow, they’ll rip out our throats, we worry, to leave everyone in sorrow. Stop looking back! Now, please hurry! We can still make it home alive! I fear mythical beasts are near, there’s a good chance that we’ll survive, now that I see our house from here. @BardPharts 7 July 2025

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #GaiasPrinciple

Gaia’s Principal The Planet has an itch She just can’t scratch, do as She will, She can’t quite find a way. There are but few rules for Her to obey and really, for Her, we are no real match. But for us, (and Her), there’s only one catch, our precious atmosphere will soon decay and responsibilities we’ll betray, from jaws of victory, failure we snatch! Remember! We are the children of stars, created by this unique Universe, to some how better understand Herself. We can’t coast, the future is not that far. Love of money, leaders’ conscience averse, for ours and our Planet’s critical health. @BardPharts 20 June 2025

#Poetry #PoetryCommunity #BezosBozos

Bezos Bozos You think you are some kind of folk hero, more like ill fated Emperor Nero, as the planet, full of poor people, burns, while you don’t pay your taxes, nor workers. They work hard, they’re not shirkers! Concentrating on filling large pockets, you choose to waste money on vain rockets, spending more than anyone in life earns ignorant of dreadful consequences that everyone finds so offensive. For people, you could choose to do great things but choose plastic throne along side fake kings. While absent of any moral concerns and the planet heads towards disaster, you act like some sort of lowlife gangster. @BardPharts 29 June 2025

Banned Book This book I hold before me. I marvel its secrets held. It’s able to set me free though, one book’s no guarantee, now this author’s mind beheld. Great words from way back, compelled like magic thoughts unfolding before me on the page, spelled. Better than four K, detailed, than CGI, convincing sound and vision, astounding! That can dure for years on end. Then time travel confounding, personalities rounding, it’s something to recommend. We can meet with a new friend and have our world really shook, then our understanding extend, how is it, this can offend? After all it’s just a book! @BardPharts 7 June 2025
