Ophelia’s edge

 

Ophelia’s edge

brings premature Autumn dusk;

heavy yellow skies.

Thinking ahead

.

Garlic bulbs purchased

ready to plant tomorrow;

thinking of summer.

Ophelia enters

 

October records

due to be broken as the

warm weather moves in.

Smile

 

Smile of a stranger

distracts me from the humdrum;

recalibration.

Futile

 

To hope against hope

is an unhappy pursuit

which will end in tears.

Layers

 

Peel back the layers.

We are the sum of our parts

there is beauty here.

Dog house

 

I don’t want a dog;

overruled by family,

now I’m in a grump

along with our cat Ninja

and George the chameleon.

Thirteen

 

Can it really be

thirteen years? Adolescence,

the next stage in life.

Spiny spider crab

 

Fine decorations

adorn a tough carapace;

king of camouflage.

Passive

 

Rod on the rod-rest

baited hooks on the bottom;

waiting for a bite.
