A Garret Poet

Empty Streets

Form: Australian Sonnet

Where are the wistful lovers holding hands
As lights expire to the coming of night
Where is the kiss to put the world to right

Lady Calls the Tune

Form: Ballad

A writer’s fingers skim the keys
The words appear on screen in sync
Yet passion cannot flow the same

As Stars Reflect

Form: Australian Sonnet

Above me hangs the winter’s moon of blue
she’s gazing out across the midnight sky
to bring a kiss to greet my lover’s sigh

Back After the Break

Form: Balassi Stanza

A slogan of words sells
On the shore it was shells
On TV the ads bombard

Star Song

Form: Alfred Dorn Sonnet

I made a wish upon a distant star
That her sweet lips are kissed by warm sunshine
While I tarry in the cold winter snow

Two Trannies and a Motor Caravanny Broom-Broom: 7 The Journey Home

We left site at 10am, stopping at Tesco’s to buy lunch and cider to take home, we headed for Plymouth. There was hardly any traffic heading in our direction, but it was bumper to bumper in the opposite direction as people were headed to the coast for the Bank Holiday weekend. No doubt our quiet […]

Two Trannies and a Motor Caravanny Broom-Broom: 6 Last Day

We woke early and managed to get down into the village for one last time. A bit of retail therapy is always a good thing; for Laura anyway. Of course, as we are heading back to Wiltshire tomorrow we have gifts to buy too. We had breakfast at Cakebreads. For a little fishing village there […]

Two Trannies and a Motor Caravanny Broom-Broom: 5 These Boots Were Made for Walking…

… and that’s just what they did with a little help from the legs of Jez and Laura. Today, we headed out into the wild unknown of cliff walking. We decided upon a circular hike from Gorran Haven to Dodman Point and back, with the promise of some amazing views of the rugged Cornish Coast […]

Two Trannies and a Motor Caravanny Broom-Broom: 4 Hook, Line and Sinker

This morning the clouds have gone the sun is shining and we are in for some heat. After breakfast and showers, we headed down hill into Gorran Haven for coffee and a muse along the harbour. I picked up a rod and tackle in the gift shop and cast out a few times. That’s all […]

Two Trannies and a Motor Caravanny Broom-Broom: 3 One Step Beyond

We woke up this morning in MCBB next to a field of ewes and lambs. The plan was to hike down the coastal path to the village and back up to MCBB for breakfast. Yeah, we all know what happens to plans. Within minutes a gentle stroll turned into hill walking along windy country roads […]
