Lobsters burning in the sun! Picture courtesy of http://www.telegraph.co.uk And they’re back
these lobsters red
From side to side
they move like the dead
Crab-like and
snapping still
Yet more sun
they need to feel
Like a drug it
is to them
These lobsters
back on the beach again
Some on grass
soaking up rays
Burning their flesh
most of the day
These lobsters
fill all space
Greed takes over
their reddening face
Can you smell them
boiling as the cook
A bird hovers close by
waiting, it looks
But these lobsters
take no heed
From the carrion
who want to feed
Shorts half way up
their bums
These birds salivate
in their tons
The lobsters though
move on
Burnt to a crisp
out to long
Lighting up like
beacons in the night
These lobsters would
give many a fright!
Peeling, flaking and
wasting away
Overcooked and ready for
the plate!
Oh lobsters, you
silly fools
You never learn
the basic rules
But these lobsters
will continue on
As they cook and burn
in the sun…
I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
