The sixth age

 

The wisdom of age

does not compensate for lost

capabilities.

Forgetful

 

Wrote a nice haiku

in my head this morning but…

can I recall it?

not even a single word

this tanka will have to do.

Sad dad

 

Teenage girls laughing

at my Spotify playlist;

mostly musicals.

Window seat

I’m facing backwards

watching the world pass me by

metaphor for life.

Sanctimony?

.

There’s much to be said

for rising with the new day

and not fighting it.

UK not OK

 

These uncertain times

create chaos and despair

divided nation.

False dawn

 

It’ll end in tears

nature waking up early

just you mark my words.

Warm

.

Omega Gulf Stream

drawing warm air from the south

record breaking day.

Redundant

 

Sledges languishing

in front gardens and back yards

left ‘on ice’ in hope.

Lines

 

At the high tide line

an orderly row of huts

shut up for winter.
