Parched

 

Long dry Summer days

sucking moisture from the earth;

new cracks in the lawn.

Bee bar

 

Buzzing honey bees

guzzle fresh sweet nectar from

marjoram flowers.

Proud

 

Compassionate act;

my boy selfless in support

of one who needs help.

Little big

 

Little Jenny wren

sings her heart out; doing so

she makes mine sing too.

Stubborn

.

I am not getting
any younger and I don’t
like change… I said it.

Painted lady

 

On Bristol’s fair Downs

she settles by a clover

plant, oblivious.

Give peace a chance

.

A tired peace lily

emblematic of these times;

needs some TLC

Run for life

.

Sea of vibrant pink
powerful message of hope;
run to beat cancer.

Night visitors

 

Vagabonds and thieves

shady felons of the night;

clothes hang from a door.

* Guess who didn’t sleep too well last night?

Horseradish

 

A small snail anchors

atop a shimmering sea

of emerald green.
