Look

A lightness
And a darkness
With a selflessness
Which holds sway

A vagueness
And a sharpness
With a shadowiness
That simply will not  go away

A sureness
And a doubtfulness
With a hopefulness
At least for the rest of the day

Shop Till You Drop

In a deep velvet chair
In front of
A bloody great big mirror

Waiting, while
A new top is tried on
To match the recently gifted skirt

Of course
Neither the style, nor the fit
Or even the colour

Are quite to the liking
Of her best friend

Cube 7: Bottom, front, top, back, right, left

No change in circumstances
Yours, Amanda from Prudential
She reminds one of Georgina Clough (fifty years back)
Because Georgina’s father was also in insurance

And that’s the annual review over
A letter will be in the post
4% is the expected growth after charges
No change in circumstances

And that’s the annual review over
Have another good year
Be thankful for the last one
Be more thankful for the next one

Be more thankful for the next one
And may your health improve
May your frozen shoulder be cured
Because Georgina’s father was also in insurance

Be thankful for the last one
4% is the expected growth after charges
May your frozen shoulder be cured
She reminds one of Georgina Clough (fifty years back)

Have another good year
A letter will be in the post
And may your health improve
Yours, Amanda from Prudential

Cube 7: Left, bottom, front, top, back, right

Bound up
In the dark dawn
Of deep introspection
Freed up

By the light-hearted
Freed up
By the blue-sky thinkers
Little fluffy clouds

Of outright avoidance
In the dark dawn
Where real stuff happens
By the light-hearted

Of outright avoidance
Bound up
Take to the hills
Take to the valleys

Take to the valleys
Of deep introspection
Where all might not be imagined
Little fluffy clouds

Take to the hills
Where real stuff happens
Where all might not be imagined
By the blue-sky thinkers

Cube 7: Right, left, bottom, front, top, back

On the home straight
Half a box of boxes to go
It’s been a fun journey
Not only for me

No, others have joined in
Taken the idea to their hearts
Shoehorned in their old poems
Even begun anew; completely fresh stuff

Or older stuff on a new canvas
Even begun anew; completely fresh stuff
Not only for me
But in the spirit of collaboration

In the life of the moment
Taken the idea to their hearts
Half a box of boxes to go
Or older stuff on a new canvas

In the life of the moment
No, others have joined in
On the home straight
To loud applause and cheers

To loud applause and cheers
Shoehorned in their old poems
It’s been a fun journey
But in the spirit of collaboration
