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.
Clown demagogues
.
Compulsive liars
whose jocular arrogance
fools only the fools.

Humidity
Each breath more effort
and though it remains quite cool
I sense summer’s thrust.

To Dorchester
The engine drags us through
a rich and verdant land
lush from unusually heavy summer rains
The rhythm is punctuated by small stations
boasting tidy flowerbeds and once busy buildings
that slumber now as polluting cars
offer a more convenient means of travel
I am afforded the luxury of time to think
and to stare out of the window
where I see my life dashing by
each blade of grass a memory lost
Closer now to my destination than to my home
the journey has passed all too quickly
I should have liked a little more time, just a little,
to have lingered a while at each of the stops along the way.

Entrance/exit
Welcome visitor
shaft of sunlight floods the room
before exiting.

Complainers
Never satisfied
too much this or too much that
enough is enough.
