State employment

 

Painting by numbers,

a perfunctory living

and passion stifled.

 

by Scooj

So tired

 

Sleep overwhelms and

in parallel burdens me;

jobs I have not done.

Inclement weather

 

Raining in Bemmie

and the crowds may diminish

but not the spirit.

Upfest 2017

 

Street artists converge

on Bristol for a few days,

painting the town red.

Nepali life

 

In the cool thin air

apple moons laid out to dry;

Autumn provisions

 

by Scooj

Bin day blues

 

Rotting food street smells

my walk to work polluted;

reality check.

 

by Scooj

Bridge

 

Crossing the divide

where glacial meltwater

cuts ever seawards.

 

by Scooj

Good reputation

 

Difficult to build,

to maintain requires effort,

so easy to lose.

 

by Scooj

Blue

 

Still for a moment,

frenetic journey frozen;

an angel in blue.

 

by Scooj

Once loved

 

Through the mist of time

thoughts of you evaporate

into the ether.
