Roe deer

 

Two innocent fawns

break cover in the lane, sweet

and vulnerable.

Cornish air

It’s the Cornish air

grandma used to say, that’s why

I sleep like a log.

Clearance

.

It isn’t easy

sifting through another’s life;

once loved, discarded.

Exeter Racecourse

.

Swallows hug the turf

darting with great precision

past rails and fences.

Girl with a pierced eardrum

 

Serenely you gaze

across the floating harbour

when you catch my eye.

It really has been rather lovely weather

.

When it rains again

we’ll forget these sunny days;

fickle memory.

Sunday tea time

.

Winding down, take five,

time out from a busy day;

cup of tea, bench, sun.

Fledgling fodder

.

A convulsing mass

of tiny caterpillars;

great peril awaits.

Clothes moths

 

Unwelcome hatch of

malevolent marauders

chomping through my clothes.

Rose chafer

 

Emerald thunder

crashing through the shrubbery

sweet sound of summer.
