A photograph is not enough

 

Since you left, I long

to see your face, to talk, to

cup your hands in mine.

Opportunity missed

 

Too shy to advance

what would I say to avoid

offence; best keep quiet.

Inspired by an entry in my 1988 journal from the Falkland Islands

Here be dragons

 

The mystery of

form and function stimulates

the thinkers to think.

Winds of change

 

We go through the hoops

nobody said we had to;

change the paradigm.

Chaos

 

It began with the

kiss of a butterfly wing

unleashing the storm.

Old sly

 

Planting out on the

allotment being watched; I

turn, he slinks away.

Zzz

 

Summer afternoon

slumber abruptly ended

by a hungry cat.

Juliet

 

A tender kiss is

all I ever wanted; my

lost romantic heart.

 

by Scooj

May the best team win

 

The best of friends…the

worst of enemies, go in

to battle today.

Crows

 

Guardians of my

soul, they wait patiently for

my death, cackling.
