Colleague

 

Sanctimonious

sour-faced and miserable;

sucks the joy from life.

Reminders

 

small pockets of snow

remain in shady hollows;

there on borrowed time.

Ruben

 

Life’s about to change

so batton down the hatches;

puppy comes today.

Happy Christmas

.

A happy Christmas

to all who celebrate it

and to those who don’t.

Critic

 

Unremarkable

devoid of any talent;

I’ll write about it.

 

by Scooj

Churchyard

 

Eighteen crows skulking

laboured hops on misty ground;

they’re up to no good.

Final push

 

One last shopping trip

to find that something special

for my special one.

 

by Scooj

Low cloud

 

Bathing in dull grey

high moods struggle to muster

the week drags slowly.

 

by Scooj

Fresh coat

 

Early morning start

escape the grips of weekend

decorating chores.

 

by Scooj

Break

 

Sacred ten minutes

a cup of tea and biscuits

…on to the next job.
