NaPoWriMo #6

It's late
Can I find time
to make a rhyme?
I might.
Good night.

NaPoWriMo #5: the banana crisis

I read about the impending banana crisis today. I am concerned.

Banana plants, banana plants, please don't die
We've got to work together to fight the TR4 fungi
Don't give in
You have to win
Bananas
Forever.

NaPoWriMo #4

I often go to Asda on a Friday...

There's someone I see in the supermarket
who fascinates me.
She has peach poodle hair,
black, black eye make-up
and heavily mascara-ed lashes.
A beige pleated crimplene skirt swings high
above her stilettos,
and metal framed spectacles
perch on her powdered nose.
She smells of old fashioned perfume.
Cloying and acrid and powdery
it hits the back of your throat.
She's fab.
I call her the 'Poodle Woman'.

NaPoWriMo #3

Number 3. And getting worse.

A is for ape
B is for bananas
M is for muesli and
S is for sultanas

And that is exactly how I like my sultanas.
Picked fresh out of a pack of muesli.

NaPoWriMo #2

Here's number 2. Thought I better do two poems today to make up for having only started today and missed yesterday.

I am an ape known as Vince the Velvet Monkey
You can see from my photo that I'm actually quite funky
I tried writing my blog
Balancing on a log
But fell off 'cos my bottom's quite chunky.

NaPoWriMo 2014

I'm back. I have been inspired to write a poem a day for the whole of April. For National Poetry Writing Month. That's 30 poems. And I'm already a day late. I have a feeling my poems may be rather silly and may feature a lot of bananas, but hey, I'm a monkey.

First one for 1 April:

I may love bananas, but
Bananas do not love me
Because I EAT THEM!

Tumbling Monkey

OK, that's it, I'm off to Tumblr. Catch me at:

This blog stays right where it is though. For historical purposes.

Love
Vince
