Mulberry Point

 

The stillness reaches

into my soul; once again

I can breathe easy.

Railroad

 

Abundant green growth

shares the trackside with discards

and bold graffiti.

Central Park

 

A restful moment

snatched from the frenetic jaws

of the Big Apple.

Flight arrival

 

A New World welcome,

overwhelming heat follows

air conditioning.

New job

 

Euphoric comes close

to describing how I feel

this very moment.

 

by Scooj

 

So euphoric in fact that I goofed again on syllables…all better now.

Snooze

 

Forty winks snatched high

in the air, hidden from the

wreckless crowd below.

Temple Church

 

In the shadow of

the leaning tower, homeless

people sleep in tents.

Plastic sheep

 

In pebble dash fields

Spring lambs frolic unaware

of the urban sprawl.

Swift

 

With my eyes closed I

can hear the shrill cries of swifts

signalling Summer.

The nun’s priest’s tale

 

Chauntecleer was proud

the fox was even prouder

Pertelote knew this.
