Water trickle, life alight
Shoulder load, wrong a right
Hold it down, snag a hitch
The choice is yours when life’s a bitch

OdeHere (46 Poems)I'm English, a Northener, hailing from Liverpool and brought up in Wales. As a child, I spoke fluent Welsh. Welsh is a language that I can only describe as, 'painting pictures'. You don't literally say what you mean, but convey what you mean. I think that is why my poems use more imagery than you would at first suspect. I choose words and topics that the reader can personalise, that link to different arcs but only I know the original origin, journey and destination of each. We can all see our own stories in the words of others, you just have to use your imagination. It's all about connection. There is no wrong definition of a poem. I love how the combination of some words can evoke feelings and trigger thoughts you believed to be long gone.
My poems are meant to be read aloud. I hope you read them aloud to yourself and to others to feel the sound of them.
I am happy for all to retweet and share my poetry but ALWAYS WITH CREDIT but feel the need to say I retain copyright!
I hope they bring a little light into your life.
Jane

When there’s nowhere left but hope
You leave for there by the train or boat.
Your life upon your back
You can’t avoid the flak.

Taxi beep whilst still asleep
Squeaky wheels & plastic meals Sunny sun & summer fun
Tired eyes are no surprise
Another holiday to recover?

The swell that builds to fall.
A tell, so clawed in awe,
It flutters soft to sigh.
See the smile of my surprise.

Who are the farmers of the sea?

London
Pick n mix inhalation
London
A street from starvation
London
The fix of a nation
London
Feeds procrastination
London.
Mutation.

Stagnant stood the ripened fruit,
It’s fading flag afurl.
Strength within, grew suit anew.
All along was the girl.
