JJ Evendon Poems

Great sarsens stand silent, like warriors.
Awaiting battle, awaiting orders.
On the passing of the shortest night,
they become sanctified with the coming of the new light.
...

I heard a funny story the other day
about Penguins who nest close to the end of a runway.
Living on a small island that is all rock with no sand,
they are not use to seeing large planes come and land.
...

Oh help, my eyes are red and swollen, and I can’t see
for something unpleasant has happened to me.
In the mirror I saw to my surprise
a horrible pair of red staring bulging eyes.
...

I dived into the water
only to find myself at the ceiling of great depth.
There was no ground to stop my fall
just a feeling of weightlessness.
...

Things that are old
In antique shops they are sold.
From collectors books
to long rusty window hooks.
...

I am Divine Wind called 'Kamikaze'.
My mission, to destroy any warship of the US Navy.
I am my country's true war hero
for I fly the impressive Japanese Zero.
...

An appliance of science is what I am.
What I make, I love to see spread, with lots of jam.
I have three slots and a basket in a metal frame.
What pops in, pops out, never to be the same.
...

Today’s a special day and I’ve eagerly woken
to the irresistible smell and sound of sizzling cooked bacon.
Two slices of soft white bread thickly cut
buttered with lots and lots of ketchup.
...

(Highest bungee jump bridge, Bloukrans at 216M, S. Africa)


Below a bridge a platform stands
...

Horses gallop at a fast pace
All wanting to win the prestigious race
Black, brown and some grey
For the gold cup is now under way
...

I have scoured distant galaxies
peered at the very fringes of the known universe.
Witnessed the mighty destruction of supernova
and watched comets blaze their trail through the heavens.
...

I hear a noise like rushing wind.
See stars move around the heavens.
Planets spin crazily around their suns.
All watched with conscious thought
...

When I listen to the news and what is said
I hear nothing but conflict and scores of the dead.
We always say 'Life is for living'
so then, why so much killing?
...

Listen.

...

I see a lady smile.
Is it for me,
or her daughter?
Intoxicating.
...

She struggles to finish her novel.
A task she carries weightier than a mountain.
It's as if its changed - her creation, her love of words-
to become an unapproachable animal,
...

The road stretches far in front of me,
lined by Cotswold stone walls and old oak trees.
Light flickering through branches like peppered stars
reflecting slowly across the bonnet of my car.
...

19.

It’s my third day and things are going well.
I’ve only fallen down once and it hurt like hell.
Today is going great and nothing is going to get in my way.
For I’ve fallen only once - and that was yesterday.
...

Coughs colds and flu
Stomach upset, run to the loo.
Streaming eyes,
now there’s a surprise.
...

The Best Poem Of JJ Evendon

Whispering Stones

Great sarsens stand silent, like warriors.
Awaiting battle, awaiting orders.
On the passing of the shortest night,
they become sanctified with the coming of the new light.
It is this cosmic signal which re-awakens their dormant spirit
marking the arrival of the longest day, releasing the power that's held within it,
As their long dark shadows shorten and then slowly fade away,
they draw upon the elements - earth, water, air and fire – to come into play.
For millennia their synchronicity was of equal form,
to become 'Spirit' – the fifth element – set by the solstice dawn.
So, as the sun rises and warms crystals within each stone,
they excite and vibrate to produce a humbled tone
The sound - which cannot be heard - opens a portal to the mind
releasing energy and wisdom of the purest kind.
So, if you seek vision and understanding,
hug a stone and listen - you may just hear a gentle whispering!

JJ Evendon Quotes

I am not human. I am a vegetable in a soup of consciousness!

My suitcase is full of clothes - yet I carry only dreams.

I am happy in the knowledge that all life can be perceived differently. I am different. Therefore I know my way - even if I do not know the place!

My life is like a tear drop for it falls - not once - but many times.

Please guide my soul for I am lost without the compass that has brought me to you.

He who seeks truth will not find it here

What weighs on my mind is how heavy thought can be
