Being dad

 

A figure of hate

I’m enemy number one

trying to keep calm.

Dentist appointment

 

Shredded to ribbons

suffering anaesthetic

cheek lacerations.

Caress

 

Pigeon pair in flight

skilfully touch wings, dancing;

lovers of the air.

Northern hemisphere blues

 

Heard on the wireless

today’s the most depressing

of the year. Onward!

48 sleeps

 

It’s the excitement

checking snow reports daily

skiing on my mind.

Blitz

 

War-shattered buildings

stitched together combining

old and new. Bristol.

Life

 

If there’s a reason

then surely days like today

in part explain it.

Vagrant

 

Look beyond my eyes

my unsightly appearance

see the heart inside.

Miniature

 

Glass beads suspended

above a palm canopy

Jurassic woodland.
