Gift

 

Pot-bound olive tree

a gift from my late father

flowering a treat.

Turkeys voted for Christmas

 

Six billion pounds

to soften the impact of

a no deal Brexit.

* If this was such a good thing for the country and economy how come it needs to be propped up with tax payer’s money? Con trick.

 

Quintessential summer’s day

 

Lawnmowers buzzing

and a radio cuts through,

England – India

A hotter than usual day

 

How sweet the cool air

brought in on southwesterlies

summer came and went.

Forty winks

 

Feeling lethargic

and happy to be engulfed

by slumberland’s spell.

Maritime influence

 

Mainland Europe burns

as strong winds quash such intent

on the British Isles.

Unprofessional

 

A delicious snooze

during a conference call

is that a bad thing?

Irritating beyond belief

 

Our cat Ninja snores

and wakes us at 5am

she is not charming.

Humidity

 

Each breath more effort

and though it remains quite cool

I sense summer’s thrust.

shaft of sunlight floods the room

before exiting.
