Summer Berries

Blackberry Sunday;

while I dig the potatoes,

they have all the fun.

On my own

When I arrive home

there’ll be no hugs and kisses;

no kids or Mrs.

Can’t wait for tomorrow

The Charity Shield,

start of the English season;

come on you Gunners!

Disappointing or Pleasing Bench?

Haven for worn legs,

withdrawn and blending into

an urban jungle.

Fear

Autumn’s chill now claws

at my heart, tugging away

Summer’s memories.

Face

Opportunity

simply irresistible

creativity.

Walk to work

From Bristol’s hills see

culture, history, progress;

ah! the stuff of life.

Politics

My grandmother said

‘Steve, it’s a mucky business’;

by God she was right.

Ragwort

Van Goughian splash

gathering red, green and gold;

soldier beetle flies.

Mid life

Reflected skyscapes,

distortions of waking dreams,

muddled horizons.
