Butterflies

 

In a year of whites

a spot of late summer sun

brings out the colours.

On observing that it has been a terrible year for butterflies in the UK except for the white species which appear to have thrived in the dry conditions. This afternoon however I have spotted a couple of colourful butterflies, a speckled wood and one other.

Rock and a hard place

 

Say no and you’re strict

say yes, it’s spineless and weak;

some tough decisions.

Nonchalant creature

skulks slowly across the tracks;

feigned indifference.

Layers

 

The ages revealed

as brick after brick tumbles;

reversal of time.

Wasp spider – Argiope bruennichi

 

She waits patiently

cryptic, uncompromising,

her trap fully primed.

Old man shuffle

Irritating clack

slippers, a size too big, slap

an old man shuffle.

Perfect day for the cinema

 

Raining cats and dogs

such miserable weather;

family film time.
