Not holding my breath

 

Parts of the country

prepare for a wintry storm;

not expected here.

Island

 

Creativity

marooned, shipwrecked in my head

no means of escape.

Cornice

.

Sweet imperfection

unnoticed until noticed

then forever seen.

Branch line

.

Sleepy commuters

update their Facebook pages

and their Twitter feeds.

Old timer

 

I count them in and

then I count them out; I am

an ever-present.

Lath and plaster

 

Grey plaster-dust clouds

meander throughout the house;

choking atmosphere.

Dethroned

 

The smallest room yields

to the expanding kitchen;

more home improvements.

Painting the ceiling

 

Why don’t we simply

pay for a professional

to suffer for us?

Split

 

Nation divided

by weather and politics;

flood, drought and Brexit.

Hail

 

At first a gentle

plink plink tapping the windows,

then the crescendo.
