From August 2015.




Portrait of a Lady

Pious choirgirl
with the Enemies List
longer than Richard Nixon's.

Neurotic moth-woman
who knows, just knows,
that Everyone Else
Is The Problem.

Spinsterish '60s child
finding Bad Karma
around every corner.

Christian demoiselle
d'un certain âge
who cannot abide contradiction.

Graying Goldilocks
to whom all porridge
is either too hot or too cold.

Sensitive soul
whose circle of friends
is contracting once more
to the centre of herself.

A very deftly constructed composite, Tom. Reminds of a Picasso portrait.

I especially like;

“Spinsterish '60s child
finding Bad Karma
around every corner.”
