Homeless

Baccy tin open

in front of her cold crossed legs

shelter for small coins.

Juxtaposition

 

Northern hemisphere

writers scribble winter thoughts;

its sunny down south.

Specs

 

Fast failing eyesight

depressing, irritating,

debilitating.

Breakfast

 

The sound of butter

melting on searing hot toast

my sal(i)vation.

Carols

 

Christmas notes sprinkled

filling every room with sound

teenage excitement.

Recycling quartet

 

A clatter of cans

bottles clink, plastic crackles

and the food waste hums.

Heavy shower

 

A stair-rod downpour

gutters momentarily

fast flowing torrents.

Job done

.

Climate data launched

hoping it gains some traction

will watch tonight’s news.

Riverside

.

London bound again

to my left the river Thames

meanders gently.

Distracted

 

Planning for Monday

seriously interferes

with weekend downtime.
