Random and surreal poetry satire and short stories.

Commas, and Colons Float in My Eyes.

I’m reading my own book, over and over again. Searching for typos before the final print, I know it’s an impossible task, ‘cause people will still find some. Commas, full stops, semi colons and brackets, float behind my eyes. I just hope it’s all worth it and I win the Booker Prize

Book

I write on my iPad, poetry for my blog,                      ‘cause my hand writings worse, than a dyslexic dog.      I know ! I’ll put it all in a book, trouble is, my computer skills also suck.

What are cursers, I don’t know, are they what I shout when things won’t flow ? And, what is a space bar, something to eat? Well I don’t find it much of a treat !

Everything I type is done on A4, My printer friend says what you done that for ? I need it on A5 for your little book, I tried to convert it but had little luck.

I tried to convert it from A4 to A5, I worked and I worked, how I did strive. The lines came out all over and mixed, after hours and hours I had it all fixed.

Time for a coffee I thought with a smile then, back to my iPad, all the words in a pile ! What the hell is it, with these computery things, much more of this and I’ll come unhinged.

I can’t do it, I can’t do it, it’ll take me all winter, that’s when the cavalry came in the shape of my printer. I’ll help you he said, for a small sum of money, that’s when my eyes went all salty and runny.

So now It’s here my little baby, will anyone enjoy it ? Well I don’t know maybe. In writing it I’ve had oh so much fun, but I’m also glad it’s finally done.

Actually the book isn’t quite ready, but I wrote this for my printer friend and it seemed apt for this prompt.

All words Meadowhead Bard.
