Memories of a café

 

The Penny Farthing

used to be here; tea and cakes

with my grandmother.

Queens’ flight

 

In their millions

reminiscent of ash spewed

from a volcano.

Fishing gone

 

Shops come and shops go

I’m sad it’s the tackle shop

where will I get bait?

Tiger fur

 

Holiday haircut

“number two please”; my daughter

calls it tiger fur.

Never work from home!

 

Bloody damnation!

household power cut ; PCs

down and no WiFi.

Hat-trick

 

Three times a score; a

sixtieth birthday perhaps

or just merriment.

Ground rush

 

Stress levels rising

exacerbated now by

holiday ground rush.

The English way

 

I daren’t look at the

person next to me…to look

as if I’m looking.

Second life

 

Abandoned but not

without hope; tides will carry

me to a new life.

Lost

 

A little longer

Just a little longer and

She’ll come back for me.
