• This was a spontaneous poem that I wrote straight off in 90mins over two days. I had just done two other poems (not yet blogged), and ideas were flowing, it seems. This is a sad reflection of our times and how a […]

  • The idea for this one came while in bed during August 2012. I later spent half an hour on it making notes of the basic ideas but then left it till winter when I had more time. On 6th November I decided to do it, […]

  • Rhymester wrote a new post, SLOW FADE. (poem), on the site Rhymester 4 months ago

    Well, here is a nice cheerful one; about the acceptance of death, which I believe gradually comes naturally due to our growing frailty, losses, and knocks, as we get left behind in a fast changing world. Nature […]

  • Here is another one from nearly two years ago I’m surprised to see. It seems more recent! The theme is that for everything we love there comes a time we do it for the last time, often without realising. How we […]

  • I’ve not put anything on here for a while, as I don’t think many visit the site anyway. This was a bit of a throwaway item. I had the idea about a year ago, then rattled it off in February when nothing much was […]

  • After reading the poem below at a poetry group recently, I realised it needed improving. Originally I had tried to write it in a looser, prose-like style to get a dreamy effect, but on reflection it now seemed […]

  • Here are TWO more, recent poems, both with the same title. They are about two different services the modern world is saddled with and which I feel are worthy of despising.

    Firstly, Lawyers, or at least the […]

  • Rhymester wrote a new post, Ultimate Gain (poem), on the site Rhymester 1 year ago

    Here is another poem I wrote a few years back on a similar philosophical theme. At the time I was going out with a woman who did meditation via the techniques of Prem Rowatt. (Maharaji). So this is all about the […]

  • Weird, this one, but I like to think possibly one of my best, though certainly unfathomable without this explanation, and as usual deep and psychological, and perhaps a bit ‘clever-dicky‘. It all started with the […]

  • Yes, Chandra. I’ve got a few more not blogged yet, having done about a dozen over the winter, but no more ideas in pipeline; perhaps more NEXT winter when nothing else to do. Just think I’d only done about 20 […]

  • Glad things mellow now and congratulations on your son. A kid always sorts you angst-ridden girlies out haha! (he says patronisingly!!!) My own daughter had her 1st on Sept 30th (a girl) so I’m a grandpa now (old age beckons)

  • I wrote to you as you used to read my stuff in the past, then realised that most English people would not know half the words, so thanks for bothering to wade through it. Most of my stuff is psychological but not […]

  • Rhymester wrote a new post, ‘Dark Angel’, on the site Rhymester 1 year, 1 month ago

    Its been a while since I posted anything here and I still have several poems not posted. I have written SEVEN new ones since the New Year, using the quiet time after Xmas and the miserable winter period to write […]

    Hi Chandra, Thanks for your comment on my Dark Angel Poem. I’ve not been on the blog for a while. I just listened to your produiced version of Trust Me. Its very dreamy and ethereal. love the ambient keys vibe. Was the ‘trust’ misplaced?–did it say? Had a listen to ‘Fingers/Hand’ too. I hope that turns out as well. Would have preferred a…[Read more]

    Hi Chandra, I hope this doesn’t mean you thought I’d lost it (mojo). I reckon my recent stuff is better than anything from the old days. Not as frequent so hopefully more considered haha!. I know it all subjective […]

    Hi Strangecloud, Nice of you to still check out my blog after all this time, Hope you are well. I’m glad you like the ‘darker’ poem. Ideal for a heavy metaller & rocker like you. haha! You are right, my usual […]

    In reply to: Chandramoon commented on the blog post Ultimate Gain (poem) This really is a very good poem – and true if you do the meditation regularly! View

    I also like the way this turned out, I hoped you would enjoy reading it again, and am glad you think I got it right considering I don’t meditate myself. Keep the faith eh? B

    Thanks for reading- Yes I got to that magic 100. Yes pressing HTML puts the spacing back as it should be. (Don’t know why Its different on efx3than efx2). Re: your comments on ‘NEXT?’ to end it on ‘bliss’ as you suggest would have been too average. What happens when you open your eyes is [...]

  • Rhymester wrote a new blog post: Next – -? 1 year, 6 months ago

    I have just written my 100th poem so thought I would post it forthwith. I have a few previous ones I’ve not yet posted but thought I’d celebrate getting to 100th poem first, and I’ll post the others later. This one is an idea I had at the WOMAD music festival at the end of [...]
