Obsession

.

Dreams about painting

creativity and style;

interpret that Freud.

Jolly good fellow

.

Old fashioned sayings 

echo in my head, from times

when I was a child.

Caterpillar salad

 

Meal interrupted

by an uninvited guest;

mutual disgust.

Day lily

 

For one day only

sumptuous magnificence;

blink and you’ll miss it.

Lava flow

 

And then time stood still

as if it were yesterday;

your rage held in check.

Egg case

 

Its purpose fulfilled

a precious gift from the sea

with tales of mermaids

Radula

 

An algal carpet

etched by the teeth of a snail;

patterns in the stone.

Passing strangers

 

A fifties throwback

in dowdy clothes and singing;

we share friendly smiles.

School footie

 

Break times spent contained

in ‘the pen’. You lot are Spurs

we’ll be The Arsenal.

Ant day

.

Gulls in thermals swoop

and stall, feasting on new queens;

tiny protein treats.
