Grump

Grumpy old Hector

I can’t seem to shake it off

where did the fun go?

Still

Smoke from a bonfire

hangs over a valley copse

breezeless dispersal

composing haiku.

Board games

 

Two wicker baskets

filled with childhood adventures

it’s hard to let go.

Procrastination

has become an art form here

Tell them what they want to hear

 

Convenient lies

trotted off with abandon

electioneering

Present to self

Dog ice cream for him

lemon drizzle cake for me

Sunday dog walking

Arsenal v Wolves

 

With all guns blazing

and excitement running high

hunting down the pack.
