Urban trenches

 

Dog-dug muddy holes

pepper-pot punctuations

a garden ruined.

Christmas cards

 

Infuriating

time-thief, although utterly

worth it in the end.

Performance

 

Once upon a show

watching children dance and sing

brings tears to my eyes.

Bristol to Exeter

.

I’m cutting it fine

trains are unreliable

meeting jeopardised.

Seasonal find

 

Left out to be found

a little baby Jesus

painted on a rock.

Three’s company

.

Dawn squirrels frolic

silhouettes against grey skies

in skeleton trees.

Naked

 

Not a stitch to wear

nor anyone to love me;

injured and damaged.

Longing

 

I long for the spring

the lengthening of the days

and the warming sun.

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.
