He wakes up early
To get free fish
The sort that swim
Not served in a dish
The end prize is weighed
Against the price to be paid
That is in this case
A much longer day
For he wakes up early
To get free fish.
Clearly the author of the vers is an enthusiastic over the abstract concept of 'free fish' in what can only be interpreted as a graceful stand against the clanky contemporary Capitalism of the western world. The poem speaks of a time when there may be 'no such thing as a free lunch,' but the concept of 'free fish' is never to be overlooked.

Lie-In
He lies-in
Until no more
Can he waste his day in bed
He must get up and use his head
Even if just for a while
Before he succumbs to procrastination's beguile
He'll type, he'll write
He'll delete and undo
He'll lie down some more
To see him through
Until the next
Lie-In
Clearly, the author enjoys sleep: the lexis 'lie-in' being a greatly significant aspect of the verse. However, what is made less clear is whether the bed is an antecedent to his work, or the inhibiting factor of his creativity; which leads us to question - is the bed the creator or destroyer of creativity?

Coffee #1
Coffee brewed
Coffee stewed
Till morning
Till noon
Till evening
Till Moon
Never does the time
Not fit the beverage
And never does the
Beverage
Fit ill
The time
For coffee, is
Nigh
Amply demonstrated by the repetion of the concept of the beverage 'coffee', contrasted against various times of day, is the relationship between the writer and the beverage. Coffee.

My Day in Verse
A typical Saturday, in verse
Locomotive
Wait for
Locomotive
Board
Locomotive
Travel on
Locomotive
Do things, do things, do
Things
Wait for
Locomotive
Travel on
Locomotive
Leave
Locomotive
Return
Home, home, home
Notice the recurring theme of the lexis 'locomotive' really gives the piece a sense of movement and spontaneity. Splendid.
