Fly catcher

 

Bounding through long grass

ear tips and tail mark the way

Ruben out hunting.

Catches me out every time

 

A daily hazard

on entering the greenhouse,

gossamer garotte.

Marc Almond

.

A retiring chap

I dance with my pen; others

dance to tainted love.

Ironic

 

My allotment is

looking good despite neglect,

perhaps less work works.

Harbour

 

The tidal rhythm

a familiar cycle

for old harbour boats.

Swifts

 

Familiar screech

decorating whitened skies;

a British summer.

Normal service resumed

.

Allotment neglect

mind on other things lately;

afternoon well spent.

Woodland burial

 

No sombre salute

instead joyful remembrance

of a life well lived.

Getting to know you

 

Acquainting myself

with my departed father

reading his scrap books;

it seems strange that we never

covered this ground together.
