Pessimist

 

My heart is filled with

an unbearable sadness

when I see the world

when I see what we have done

and the mistakes we have made.

January

.

Overwhelming gloom

constant miserable rain

sick and tired of it

Scrumptious

 

Favourite pudding;

chocolate panettone

bread and butter style.

Melt

 

Where early frost lay

only damp traces remain

winter sunshine melt.

Universe

.

Out of the darkness

a billion billion

stars; pin-prick night lights.

True

 

I have a problem

with authority figures

I’m not a ‘yes man’

I think my integrity

too often gets in the way.

Big mouth

.

Outspoken values

and passionate conviction

my Achilles heel.

Dependent

 

Horrible wet day;

sustenance and life, I must

learn to love the rain.

Lucky charm

 

One…two…five…seven…

nine goldfinches together

in our silver birch.

Extraordinary comfort

.

Saturday haircut

in the Arches Barbershop;

‘me time’ tradition.
