Celandine

.

delicate flower

beautiful beyond compare

yet beauty deceives

as you spread your roots and leaves

you’ll not be mine celandine

Night visitor

 

At four forty nine

the stairs creak and I wake up

a nightmare enters.

Brunswick Square BS2

.

Heavy with blossom

ornamental cherry trees

provide welcome shade.

Follow the sun

 

My daughter and cat

drift across the decking

tracking the sunlight.

Lunch break

 

I sit sunbathing

on the garden bench, eyes shut;

could be anywhere.

Sun

 

This beautiful land

so much enhanced by the hand

of Sulis; Spring freed.

Spring joy

.

A glorious end

to a glorious day when

the mistle thrush comes.

Chilly morn

.

Winter’s last stand;

cloudy vapours tumble out

on exhalation.

 

by Scooj

Hearing is seeing

 

Gulls over Bristol;

eyes shut, I am transported

to a summer shore.

 

by Scooj

Cornish snow

 

In seventy-nine

we two played with a lightness

enjoying the snow.
