Sep 3, 2025 / BenDQ / Leave a comment

A day writing grants.
Need poetic ways to say,
‘Give us your money!’

Long day staring at forms. Brain dead!

Poem 667 – Over?

The last song is done
The stage will be dismantled
Your presence lingers

I wrote another poem today, but I’m not so sure about posting it, so here’s an end of Greenbelt haiku.

The annual question
Is there enough gas to cook?
This year? A gamble.

I’m off to Greenbelt on Thursday, my annual festival retreat. Getting some of the kit together today I was faced with the usual question.

Poem 626 – The Ultimate Sacrifice

Jul 15, 2025 / BenDQ / Leave a comment

Heroic rebel
Fuses his mind to the ship’s
Bravely saves the day

A glorious evening of space opera fun, with a half-man/half-machine saving the day.

Poem 625 – Stage 9

Impossible odds.
Surely not? Maybe? Could they?
Yes! Yes! Oh! So close…

Breaking away from the starting line, Van der Poel was so close to staying away all the way to victory. Deserves a longer ode than I have time for today.
