These constant grey skies

suck away every ounce

of inspiration.

Crows on College Green

caw amidst the roar of the

City-bound busses.

Winter still

.

How the blossom lies

with its smallest hint of Spring

tricking and teasing.

Reward for housework

got to watch the football, wish

I hadn’t bothered.

On a Vangelis

binge with Chariots of Fire

and Ford’s Bladerunner.

Done in

 

Completely burned out

and abandoned with no one

left to care for you.

Gone

 

Trees and hedges clipped

nowhere for the birds to perch

miss the joy they bring.

Eye bogies

 

Phrase from my daughter

‘eye bogies’ had me laughing

I called them ‘sand men’.

Ageing

My eyes are no good,

my ears are no good; at least

I know who I am.

River still

.

Boathouse reflected

in the perfect stillness of

the Bristol Avon.
