Dawn rower

.

Sleek. Cutting through the

still water of the Avon 

amidst frosty fields.

Early train

 

Sunlight cuts across

the carriage and it flickers

Intermittently.

Netball match

 

A bitterly cold

morning, though warmed to the core

watching my girl play.

Solitaire

 

All alone I sit

just me and the soapstone fish.

I finished it once.

A view

 

Cold crisp afternoon

grey stone buildings bleached by a

sunken autumn sun.

 

by Scooj

Alea iacta est

 

Now the die is cast

there is no going back, no

second chance. It’s done.

Bubble babble

.

Meaningless jargon

in the Westminster bubble

fails to touch real lives. 

.

by Scooj

It rains

 

Interminable

rain, eroding memories

of warm summers past.

 

by Scooj

Rain, rain go away

.

Crisp, dry leaves yield to

soggy slippery mush. Rain!

enough already. 

.

by Scooj

Chilly choices

.

Standing in cold car

parks, shivering and choosing

which cars to test drive.
