THIS IS HOW DOLPHINS NAVIGATE

 Another couple of revised poems this post.
The first was written last year after I watched a firework display for free.
I have changed the layout, it now has a line break that I think allows the poem to breathe. It is always worth spending time trying different layouts.

Gracie & Harry's Poem

5.11.15 Deal

percussion

it draws you outdoors

echoes across the houses

hollow

this is how dolphins navigate

in sonic sketches

we are drawn to a street corner

with other humans

to watch fireworks for free

to evaluate each blossom against our memories

it is over too soon

This second poem has had the lines moved around and I think it works better. If you find yourself with a poem that is not quite working move some of the lines about and see if that helps or hinders. That is the beauty of using a computer. A word of warning- keep all the different drafts.

Surprise

made in russia

my analogue watch

much repaired

by chance

this once

mirrors the digital time projected on to the wall

it will not last

gears and entropy

will do for it and for me

Entropy is a common theme for me. It probably comes from growing up in the 1960's and reading too much science fiction about the heat death of the universe. I blame Michael Moorcock myself!
I leave you with Lizzie Nunnery and Vidar Norheim singing Company of Ghosts in 2015 in Glossop. Any chance of a new album chaps?
