The #ink I write with
is magic ink. It can
conjure up moments
of beauty, joy, solace
and calm. It can anchor
memories in time &
space & it can help
me understand.
This ink I write with
is magic ink.

What if #soul was not a noun
but a verb?

Would you soul with me?

Do I soul with my students?

You should soul at least 15 minutes every day.

I soul you!

& in a dream, I raced
through the streets
of a rollercoaster town
in a Mini Cooper -
never mind that I was
sometimes in the drivers seat
& sometimes on the back bench
or that I actually don't know
how to drive at all...

In my next life,
I want to be a #penguin
But I don't like the cold so much,
so maybe I could be reincarnated
in Argentina - did you know
that there are penguins in Fireland,
happily waddling through the Bosque?

Tomorrow
sounds like an Irish jig,
played with much heart
on a not so well-tuned
fiddle; like a fun punk song
with a chorus that we can all
sing along to or like a room
full of kids, singing their favourite
songs all at once. I hope.
& not like war drums, goose steps
or the #thrum of an atom bomb

I walk all over the place,
you can see me on buses,
trains & boats (if they're
not on strike), occasionally,
I'll even ride my bicycle
past your window (though
not at night) - but I never
learned to drive a #car -
partly resistance &
partly rebellion - I am
a lorry drivers son

If you hold this poem
carefully
to your ear,
you will heart the #thrum
of its little heart &
softly feel it, like
the heart of a hurt
little bird whose wounds
you want to treat.

It's ten past ten!
Look at the #clock
and how it reminds us
to start and end
each day with a smile
and to go through
each day kindly,
even if time
presses us on.

In my #office, just
opposite my desk,
hangs a poster of
a lavender field.
Every time, work
becomes exhausting,
I dream myself into
that sunny picture.
One day, I hope to
wake up in that sunny
field, looking at a picture
of an empty office.

What happens to the poem
after we have read,
what to the song after
we have sung it? Do we
confine it to our memory
or straight into oblivion?
Does it linger & make us #quiver
with excitement or with tears?
Do we whisper it into the wind,
who softly carries it away?

I saw a #naked idea
standing outside
in the snow, shivering.
I took it in, gave it
warm clothes &
nurtured it, so one day
it can grow into
an inspiring idea.

The swet whisper of the #WaterfallSong
sings of the world behind the watery veil,
where there is an enternal spring & fairies
are flying from tree to tree, noshing on
the honey made from our old mistakes.
Some pople will only see the stonewall
behind the water, but they can only look,
but not see.

The police are investigating
the case of the stolen metaphors.
A #detective has confiscated
all the lines in this poem &
asked if I can prove that
I wrote it myself.
I have declined to answer
until my attorney arrives.

Just like the moon,
my dreams wax & #wane,
turning from sweet to sour
to bittersweet to crazy -
one night, my literary mentor
tried to eat me -
that wasn't fun.
The other night, I incidentally
met one of my mutuals
from across the ocean -
that was nice.

Don't read the news.
Read fairytales.
Don't write file notes.
Write poems.
Don't burn books.
Burn bank statements.
Don't trust billionaires.
Trust your inner voice.
