Hostile alien

ornamental, unwelcome

in the native lands.

Nature boy

 

Exploring Cornish

rock pools all Summer break; those

were such carefree days.

Meniscus

 

With consummate ease,

walking on water is like

a stroll in the park.

Transition

 

Delicate whisper

of Autumn’s steady advance;

time to button up.

Brown Trout

 

Distorted shadow

obscured by rippling waters;

unmistakable.

Longing

 

I want my childhood

back; to spend carefree Summers

with those who have gone.

Common Blue

 

On Cornish heather,

still only for a moment;

captured in rapture.

Bond

 

A father and son

spend time together fishing;

lasting forever.

Pain au chocolat

 

Early morning trip;

warm smells of the bakery

wake the living dead.
