Transported - a celebration of Phase 2. Commissioned poems from 24th October 2014


taking the south

red dog and whine
we make the time
to take the south for a walk
it's dinner - it's nosh
(an anerican gosh)
o how i wish she could talk

where

the dog's forgot
and stands quite still
perhaps the dog has had
its fill
but not this one- dementia  done
but then he walks
and like us
realises where we are going

ever after

you're the pink
i'll shout it louder
if you can hear above the laughter
but volume's shaking
you're my earth quaking
            ever after

the trance

the hippo decided to dance
and whirled itself into a trance
and i'll make a bet
that you'd smell the sweat
that would stink worse than any old pants

at the bowl

whatever's purring at the bowl
escaped from risk - from out the hole
we give you space - we give you play
you keep our thunderstorms at bay

wisdom - book

what's written there within the page
is life of work - mywords for you
from out the green - we find our sage
what books provide is wisdom true

purple

in the water - purple water
there she swims my purple daughter
purple dogs have been and gone
here she shines - my purple sun

freshly bathed in purple too
off to bed for dreams come true

chocolate

you're my chocolate supplies
(my perfect surprise)
my help - the love of my life
my years thirty six
(i think that we've clicked)
we'll go for another - and then
you're still my
perfect surprise
            my chocolate supplies
                        my help
                                    the love of my life

it's said about the dog

we'll walk the extra milo
we like to see the red
you rhyme with cappuccino
we love your extra kilos
you're human - there it's sad
