Escape

 

Managed to escape

from the clutches of housework;

A well-being walk.

Natural toy

 

Irresistible

a small wind-blown leaf tumbles

across the pavement

drawing the puppy away

from sniffing grubby lampposts.

My family…

 

Morning rush over

cat, dog and chameleon

all fed and happy .

House sparrow

 

House sparrows twitter

from gutters and garden shrubs

warming tepid hearts.

Close to perfect

.

Late walking to work

little traffic, bright sunlight

bish, bash, bosh; sorted.

Gold automobile

vulgar expression of wealth

love me love my car.

Bark and bite

Puppy has taken

a liking to silver birch

white shreds everywhere.

For making fires

 

old wooden drawers

branches from the garden

perfect for kindling.

New toy

 

The first photograph

snapped on my new camera;

a stained glass window.

Icy

 

Perilous flagstones

outside Bristol cathedral;

stairway to heaven.
