No contest

 

France – Argentina

or take down the trampoline;

easy decision.

Occupation

 

Large windows offer

fleeting moments of escape,

then it’s back to work.

Male guilt

 

Castration, a word

filled with potent undertones;

puppy gets the knife.

Hoverfly

 

Sounds like a fine wine

Volucella pellucens;

great pied hoverfly.

Interruption

,

One is company

two’s a crowd. Joined by colleague

on the London train.

A very British heatwave

 

Kitchen to garden

it’s like stepping off a plane

on your summer hols.

Nasty temper

 

Spiteful malicious

wasp takes aim at my forearm;

throbbing reminder.

Prisoner cell (phone)

 

I’m surgically

attached to my headset and

want to leave the call.

Canine capers

 

Evicerated

animals scatter the floor,

stuffing tumbleweed.

Coming back

 

Finding my mojo

is taking quite a long time,

I must nurture it.
