Ragwort

Van Goughian splash

gathering red, green and gold;

soldier beetle flies.

Mid life

Reflected skyscapes,

distortions of waking dreams,

muddled horizons.

End of life

Once green, now yellow,

wheat heads groan in windy gusts

longing for harvest.

Smartphone distraction

Laughs turned to curses

as the lady missed her bus.

Too busy chatting.

written on the bus home from work yesterday. It has happened to me too.

Respect

It is you that counts,

not your status or your rank;

you for you alone.

 

by Scooj

Almost invisible

Standing out alone

in understated grandeur.

Most will walk on by.

Love you

An untold story;

a gift of love? or maybe

an apology.

A bicycle I saw exactly a year ago on a street in Bristol.

Dragonfly

Relic from Earth’s youth

bathing in afternoon sun.

Fleeting adulthood.

Bristol to London by Train 2

Deer in open fields

scamper away for cover

when iron thunder comes.

Bristol to London by Train 1

Am I alone in

being incensed by human

excrement on rails?
