Clowns

 

Beneath the costume

we are not so different

you the clown and I.

Late in the office

 

Others have gone home;

shut the door on your way out

I think to myself.

Everywhere I look

I see the ragged remnants

of my waking dreams.

Halowe’en is gone

pumpkins hurled in the compost;

time passes quickly.

Loop

Scrawls on newspaper

crafted into verse about

scrawls on newspaper.

Non-natives

 

I’m awake early

squaking parakeets outside;

a London nuisance.

Red kites above

great conservation story;

no more DDT.

Nipper

 

Little Bristol dog

recognised by millions;

a canine icon.

The last dance

 

Summer’s last hurrah

tardy, tatty butterfly

pauses in the sun.

Days for living

.

Chilly morn, clear, crisp

trees cast long slender shadows

and I am alive.
