Wasp spider – Argiope bruennichi

 

She waits patiently

cryptic, uncompromising,

her trap fully primed.

Impossible

 

Late afternoon sun

catches on Ruben’s dog tag

manic chase ensues.

Passenger

Never in control

a lengthy career careers

driven by others.

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.

Project fear

 

Dispicable tag

used by bully Brexiteers

to stifle debate.

Exam results

 

The boy did OK

he could have done much better

I’m proud nonetheless.

The real work begins right now

hope he can apply himself.

Visual malfunction

 

Scotomas obscure,

words disappear before me;

retinal migraine.

Ruben

 

An evening walk

with the dog I didn’t want;

got under my skin?
