Renewal

 

Deep winter decay

from which all life emerges;

faintest hint of spring.

Easy to forget

 

Exquisite beauty

I see it all around me;

a wonderful world.

Dog day

 

Let sleeping dogs lie

no cat nap for the canine;

totally crashed out.

School rules

 

Hands out of pockets

walk no more than two abreast;

it wouldn’t wash now.

Composed while walking to work on a very chilly morning and feeling uncomfortable putting my hands in my pockets, because of the school rules imposed/imprinted on me at a young age.

Spending pennies

.

Under clean blue skies

the puppy and I share time

scouting the garden.

Breakfast for one please

.

A delicious treat

time and space to contemplate;

a table for one.

Football fan

 

It’s the hope that kills

and so it is every match;

sheer purgatory.

File under WPB

 

Waste paper basket

in the corner of the room

keeper of secrets.

Pavement flowers

 

I didn’t know you

though I feel the pain of death;

murder on the streets.

2018

 

It is the first day

of a brand spanking new year;

make the most of it.

Happy New Year to you all.
