I like words like...



Kalahari desert, South Africa.

I like words like
Chocolate, Tequila
And Marabou.

Desert, Dessert
And Timbuktu.

Snowdrops, sunflowers
And cock-a-doodle-DO!

How did Christmas Become Easter?

Notting Hill, London. 

photo & poem © Jesús Montero

How did Christmas
Become Easter?
Turning mince pies
Into hot cross buns?

How did the dying year blossom
With the bloom of a thousand trees?
Paving the way
For-one-more-wrinkle.

How did the hours
Roll into days,
Binding our past
In a cloud of daze?

There is nothing Like a cup of cocoa...




photo & poem © Jesús Montero

Written whilst drinking a cup 
at 
SAID of SOHO, London.


********

There is nothing
Like a cup of cocoa.

It’ll make you dance
And go, loco*, loco.

There is nothing
Like a good chunk of choco,
To show you that too much
Is always poco**.

Some say
It’s the thing to share,
I somehow feel
It’s best eaten solo***.

********
LOCO* = bonkers
POCO** = too little
SOLO*** = alone
