With your passing, our

lives will feel impoverished;

blue skies turned to grey.

Paint

 

Watching paint dry is

almost as tedious as

watching…erm…paint dry.

*apologies for the dreadful haiku. Boringly busy weekend decorating a room before the carpet is fitted – no space for creative thinking.

Butterfly day

 

Flitting from here to

there, never stopping for long;

these Winter weekends.

 

by Scooj

Flood

 

All hands to the pumps!

This Winter’s rallying cry;

more records broken.

Eli Kivuti

 

We are connected,

you and I, through another’s

love of Africa.

 

by Scooj

Bright

 

Blind from the sun’s kiss,

a sweet inconvenience

of Winter’s orbit.

 

by Scooj

Sweet ghost of Christmas past

 

Irresistable;

knock down advent calendar

with marzipan treats.

Mysterious soup

 

Mysterious soup

frothing for billenia,

thanks for making me.

 

by Scooj

The truth about child rearing

 

Making pancakes for

breakfast is ultimately

so unrewarding.
