Allotment evening watering

Ear close to the ground

listen to the grateful earth

drink with a sizzle

Dirty, rotten scoundrels

Without contrition

without dignity, honour

or integrity

 

The self-styled ‘king of the world’

shows his true colours again

I didn’t think that I could be upset by Boris Johnson any more. He represents nothing that I believe in, but by jingo he has done it again by his pathetic and snivelling defence of Dominic Cummings’ wrongdoings. Remember this lot will ‘win at any cost’. Well sometimes good governance is not about winning, but is about learning from mistakes and moving on, bringing the people with you for the greater good. I am so saddened by what is going on.

Starlings ascending

disturbed while feeding their young

I the disturber

Seeds in their packets

won’t be growing anywhere

I’ll plant tomorrow

Barbecue spring

Who needs a summer?

already the swifts’ shrill cries

fill gorgeous blue skies

White rose

White rose reminds me

of my Yorkshire heritage

of my missed father

Appear-disappear

One, two, three, four, five

long-tailed tits perch in the birch

five, four, three, two, one

Your time came too soon

somehow it doesn’t seem fair

I will remember

Late one

 

My rather full day

has somewhat predicated against

writing a haiku
