Summer interrupted (for a day)

 

Let the sun shine in

or at least a cloudy sky;

break in dry weather.

Observation

 

You can’t hide from me

I have naturalist’s eyes

I see living things.

Parched

 

Long dry Summer days

sucking moisture from the earth;

new cracks in the lawn.

Bee bar

 

Buzzing honey bees

guzzle fresh sweet nectar from

marjoram flowers.

Proud

 

Compassionate act;

my boy selfless in support

of one who needs help.

Little big

 

Little Jenny wren

sings her heart out; doing so

she makes mine sing too.

Stubborn

.

I am not getting
any younger and I don’t
like change… I said it.

Painted lady

 

On Bristol’s fair Downs

she settles by a clover

plant, oblivious.

Give peace a chance

.

A tired peace lily

emblematic of these times;

needs some TLC

Of loss and love

 

Three thousand runners
with numbers pinned to their fronts
and there on their backs
a message, the loved ones lost.
I wept for my step father.
