A Work In Progress: Four By Six

A WORK IN PROGRESS

Nothing wrong with people
Genocide wouldn’t cure
Just need to be patient
They are working on it

Overcommitted: Shadorma

OVERCOMMITTED

Decided
To start a list of
All those jobs
Needed done
Promised to self or others
Ran out of paper

New Year In Autumn: Cinqku

NEW YEAR IN AUTUMN

Summer
Holiday
Just memories
Climb on to school’s treadmill
Heigh ho

No Short Cuts: Shadorma

NO SHORT CUTS

Just one place
The dictionary
Where you’ll find
Perfection
Comes before perseverance
And perspiration

Last Call: Shadorma

LAST CALL

Fingers crossed
Shoulders to the wheel
Work together
This whole world
Reversing destination
To save the planet

If you try to run off
Expect misadventures
Heed that still small voice
You have a job to do

The Wee Hours (20a)

THE WEE HOURS

Three o’clock
Bells ring and all’s well
Up early
Early start
And it’s shoulder to the wheel
Keeping life at bay

Livelihood (9a)

LIVELIHOOD

Gnarled fingers
Bent reproducing
Miniature
Artefacts
Busy busy all day long
Buddhas for tourists

Worry not my dear friend
For practice makes perfect
Meanwhile further upstairs
All is just as is meant

A happy heart is
Always welcome but then it’s
