Let me be

 

Summer daydreams are

rudely interrupted by

the here and the now.

 

by Scooj

It’s a very British thing

 

Some things are just too

funny; Johnners and Aggers

corpsing still kills me.

  • Reminded of a small piece of cricket commentary:

Exeter

 

Eclectic city

a mish-mash of new and old

buildings cheek by jowl.

Waiting Room

Not a book in sight

nor a newspaper; the age

of the phone pulls in.

Day end

 

Sky blue turns to gold

to orange to red to black

this winter nightfall.

 

by Scooj

Plane diverted due to fog

 

An unexpected

visitor literally

descending tonight.

Drift

 

Once, I knew you well.

Thick as thieves, friends forever.

Old now. Friends no more.

Spotify joy

.

An algorithm 

that knows your favourite tracks;

a restorative. 
by Scooj

Brave face

 

It is difficult

to hide the feelings I have

when it all goes wrong.
