A Garret Poet

Verdi Gris

Form: Byronic Sonnet

In art a simple man becomes legend,
His dreams remain to grace the viewing eye,
Ideals that question ev’ry reason why

Shoe Fitting

Form: Ballad Stanzas

Prompt; Fairy Tales

Her face went red in angry rage
As she squeezed in her foot
A shoe too dainty for her feet

Thief of the Night

Form: Australian Sonnet

So wild and still, my dreams are coming home,
And like a thief of night my love collects
Where ardent fantasies of thought project

Form: Ballad Stanzas Describing words we shouldn’t use In the words of a verse This poet is breaking the rules So what, I’ve done far worse The words I use to describe you So you see what I see The beautiful woman I love Who’s everything to me Your femininity delights Me to such a […]

Silent Voice

Form: Ballad Stanzas

The shyest voice they never heard
Denied into silence
A life hidden behind closed eyes

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 […]
