3 English Poems From Mind Spaghetti

All the pretty clouds have drifted off The monster, guilt,has vandalised my days Going, going, gone, my youth, Shovelled under the claggy earth The fireworks of passion, damp squibs now I was never a mother's joy Only a caught breath between broken phrases Statistics at 73 I have touched 4 coffined corpses I have received zero valentines I have never twice replied to Spam mail I have burned 3 pans on the stove I have covered 10 dead birds with grass I have watched 8 hydrangea bushes fail to thrive I have been bitten by millions of midges I have spread the common cold to umpteen hosts I have caught 3 feathers from an angel's wing I have climbed Lochnagar 10 times I have never cooked a perfect family meal I have driven over 3 unhappy pheasants I have nearly drowned once in the River Dee I have given birth 3 times to 4 children I have 22 teeth left in my mouth I am like an ageing stag with rotten antlers A hermit crab that doesn't get out so much The Magic of Plant Names Devil's dropping,Witch's butter, Meat of goblins, Devil's hoof Devil's snuffbox, Wolf's parrot, Devil's guts, Bleeding heart Milk thistle, Hooded skullcap, Toadflax, Bride weed Corpse flower, Sticky Willy, Butcher's broom, Donkey Fart Mouse tail, Pointed finger, Hebejeebie trifida Water hemlock, Deadly nightshade, Fairy bells, Devil's claw Bee Balm, Shooting star, Kings' foil, Larkspur Cowslip, Elf dock, Fairy fingers, Tiger's jaw Old man's beard, Pussy willow, Catnip, Cat's whiskers Black eyed Susan,Snapdragon, Spider lily,Devil's Dung Ox eye daisy, Nipplewort,SpiderwortSneezewort Corn silk, Stinkhorn, Mother-in-law's Tongue
