Picnic Poem
by Tony Chapman.
having a picnic
high up, on a vertical wall
we sit horizontally,
watching our hard-boiled eggs
fall
"Whoops, there goes the jam,
and the packets of chrisps"
trying to drink orange juice,
but it pours out of the mug
in gravity's general direction.
having a picnic under the sea
the fish swim by and smile at me
then my salad floats away,
my raw food crackers too
and a friendly octopus
drinks my orange juice
having a picnic on the cold north pole
my orange juice is frozen solid
so I make a hole
in the ice
to fish through ...
“LOVE HAS CAUGHT ME” by Tony Chapman VERSE 2 … (verse 3 in next blog)
2nd verse of “Love Has Caught Me”
I’m falling so fast, nothing will last,
I’m tipping right off the edge
I’m walking on air, then I despair
I’m slipping right off the ledge
Love has caught me

Bedtime Poem by Tony Chapman.
I'm riding the hint of a wave
as the twisting clouds expand and contract
and the birds whirl, grey and pink
amongst its billowing whiteness, above me
Continuum:
Mum's overcoat is under the ground
Dad's overcoat is there too
life is too ludicrous for words
perhaps only writing is real
now to sleep, as the night falls
and the last-post bugle blows
and the man in the moon closes his eyes.
Now I'm
running
up a hill
blue sky
watching grey and pink birds
flying below me
looking at their feathered backs
an unusual sight.
LOVE HAS CAUGHT ME
written by Tony Chapman
Verse 1 only (verse 2 in next blog):
I tumble and spin, want to get in
but I’m stuck out here in no-man’s land
I knock on you’re door, I want you more
but you’re slipping right through my hand
LOVE HAS CAUGHT ME
