Random and surreal poetry satire and short stories.

Mood Swings and Roundabouts

This is a complicated subject, I will try and keep the intro short as posible.
“Black, black, Bible black” a quote “ish” from Dylan Thomas’s “Under Milk Wood” Then from my favourite Dylan (Bob) the words “Most of the time” where he sings of a lost love and doesn’t think about her “Most of the time” hinting of course at the times he does.
I don’t consider happiness to be an attainable permanent state, but rather a temporary one to aspire to at special moments in time. Contentment is fine, “Most of the time” 😀

MOOD SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS.

Black, black, Bible black, that’s how poets may describe depression
It’s worse than than that, when it takes me the pain’s in another dimension
Satisfaction is an interim state, when I stave off anger and resentment
Most of the time, please read between the lines, a pleasant state of contentment

Happiness is a rare bird that flies, fleeting and amorphic
Experienced when amongst friends sweet nectar and leaves me heartsick
Children’s laughter, love ever after, a lamb returned to mother
Happiness the queen of moods, more valuable than any other.

Lovely wife and I are in Wales on holiday, so it’s good I can give a mention to my second favourite Dylan

All words except the brace of Dylan quotes, Meadowhead Bard.
