SUNSHINE HOVE 20 APRIL 2018 FOUTOUX

sunshine hove april

lilac is too small to see yet
daffodils late droop
in summer heat
the blackbird sings


hot hot this sun
the church is cool
and silent
john and saul
blinded as i am
from my own happiness

heavenly bread and wine at
this hour of the morning
makes me tipsy.

capuccino leaves chocolate round
my mouth music pounds
a lapdog eats a croissant

of course my gag is on
but if i am a poet can i
use my licence

could i said that black can complain of white
but white not of black
that pc is like a sellophane bag
over my brain
held fast by bbc

neon nonentity by foutoux

NEON NONENTITY

'I WANT TO SPEND MY TIME WITH YOU'
'I WANT TRACEY EMMIN TO GO BACK TO BED'
And leave poetry to poets.

happily the clock ticks behind
the pink letters
on and on
until dusty death and decay
will turn out the light.

repent tracey
admit the mind numbing limits
of your work
leave your subrequet of artist
crawl back into your unmade bed

go to bed tracey emin by foutoux

go back to bed tracey
dream about your undeserved fame
it and your bed and
barbar cartland
neon sentiments
will not last

tracey emmin visual criminal

Did hallmark cards inspire your
divine muse
or contemplation of virgil or horace perhaps

this sublime line would embellish any
cereal packet
what about scanning
this neon haikou
oh tracey make that
cursed bed
go to sleep
and let our
intellect rest from
the onslaught
of your
mediocrity.

neon nonesense by foutoux

NEON NONSENSE

Oh Muse inspire me to
show the nature of
mediocrity and how
it's spell is caste and
castes a gloom over
all mankind.

Oh Muse give me licence to
speak what I can no longr
gagged by Hove actually


Oh Muse I pray break the
Neon of the Goddess of
unrelenting drivvel.

TRACEY EMMIN EAT YOUR HEART OUT by Foutoux

TRACEY EMMIN EAT YOUR HEART OUT

you cannot stop me now
my teeth are sharpened

razor sharp



mediocrity
the neon lights
the line of 'poetry'
inspired by the muse
of washing up liquid
hallmark cards or
barbara cartland


pray to be forgotten Tracey*
i believe your wish will
be granted.

  19 april by foutoux

hot 
today sandals ankle socks
hove's sartorial elegance
for all to see
purple hair reflects
the splendid glory of the sun

inside the church granite hewn from rock
upholds vaulted white dome
wooden christ and a
women's head shakes
prematuely.
splendid john and the eunoch
holy father
breaks such fine bread

reentering the world
hot water begrudged in
an unsaved world

 bbc does the job
brainwashes
  population
into
 niceness
english hypocracy saves the day.

do not say sin because it makes
the kind squirm

golf course by foutoux

april 2018  16th

i was here
above the clouds
that stretched
across the putting  g reen
and the flint which
stretched beyond time
there the blackbird sings
and here the man in a
red cap swings
they were here
in these hills
billowing down to the sea
time takes us past the blackberry bush
and the golden bush
the jagged hawthorn
we shiver in our winter coats
this is england
this my home
these my roots
if i could sing as well as the blackbird
or march to the sound
of ancient bugles
well then this would be a t rue poem

stone eagle by foutoux

STONE EAGLE

sinless yet turned to stone
brave eagle you
try to fly
but nowhere does
the salt wind take you
i see no other
 u r weary
 of such indignity.
who fixed u solid
to this post
who carved your stone feathers

how many years will
you cry a soundlessscreeh
do not be alarmed
a skip will be your
final resting place
in heavenless hove

STONE OWL

STONE OWL   by foutoux

just standing
impossibly still
poised ready for flight

i saw today
in timeless sun the owl
wings outspread
almost flying
forever
never sees the stars nor moon
nor wakes a sleeping
child
nor hoots nor sings
but stands forever still.

foutoux copyright 2018

almost spring by foutoux

 fog but yet mist
no rain

a silver  ball
 beneath the stars
 a stone owl with outspread wings
was it turned to stone
by sin?

this is april
in hove actually.
