Taut
as a wire
stretched,
between exhaustion and fury;
always on the brink of
uneasy sleep
Wire

inI read this poem (with one small difference) for my friends Tracey and Kevin to celebrate their wedding. I wanted to find something uplifting for the last of these Tuesday Poems, particularly as it is being released on Christmas Eve, and I hope this does the job. Enjoy…

It can be whining and passive aggressive:.. “I only want…”
Here are two ‘only’ poems
That can become one (our only one) poem:

inThis is a poem for my nephew. It was also found in the mountains of Italy. It was very high up; almost at the very top of the world.
Words (because frankly I didn’t speak clearly enough)-
Monty’s Poem-
Fitter than a flea
Monty
He can climb a tree
Monty
From which he can see
Monty
More than you and me
Monty
He can see the coast
Monty
He can see a boat
Monty
On which he’ll wear the captain’s coat
Monty
on an explorer’s path to float
Monty
OR-
He can see the sky
Monty
In it he will fly
Monty
See the world speed by
Monty
Wave the ground goodbye
Monty
OR-
He can see the mountains
Monty
Waterfalls and fountains
Monty
Free ways for him to count on
Monty
Through the up and down-ties
Monty
AND-
The world is just a ball
Monty
That tree is oh so tall
Monty
Though you still be small
Monty
You can be it all
MONTY!
