Urban Springtime Petals and broken glass Line the festal way. Accidental emeralds gleam Amid silken pink blossom Trodden underfoot, Sodden and sad: Softness and sharpness Mingling in the fallen trash. Ten green bottles Smashed against my wall, Ten green bottles Didn’t accidentally fall. Drifts of pink petals Candy-floss coloured Blow lazily in hot wind Drying [...]

Snow at the shoreline

Snow at the Shoreline Cappuccino waves crash upon the shore Spin-drift and snow meet at high tide, Overlap and kiss across a barrier Made of iced shingle and flotsam, Feathers and cuttlefish corpses. Roar of sea and wind drown out The cries of gulls and the crunch Of feet through snow and sand. Breath snatched [...]

The Cherry Tree I see the cherry tree Bare of leaves, Twigs a tangle of algae’d wood And buds tight coppery knots Tipping each twig with points of light. I see it covered in bloom Double pink flowers like candy floss Dripping confetti onto overgrown grass. Newly opened leaves gleam bronze Fluttering in early summer [...]

Shoreline When the wind rages I share the shore With a few brave souls Driven from home By dogs or inner demons. We nod, curtly and pass, Silent, heads down.

An antidote to the St Valentine’s Day massacre(aka Rip-off) The most dreaded day of the year for many dawns today (14th February) where husbands quake, wives sigh and singletons hope. Yeah, right, that day. I am not a fan of St V’s, not in the slightest. It comes not so much of being [...]
