Home improvements

 

Nothing is

where it ought to be;

upside down,

chaotic,

it could be some time before

normal life resumes.

Cornice

.

Sweet imperfection

unnoticed until noticed

then forever seen.

Branch line

.

Sleepy commuters

update their Facebook pages

and their Twitter feeds.

Old timer

 

I count them in and

then I count them out; I am

an ever-present.

Lath and plaster

 

Grey plaster-dust clouds

meander throughout the house;

choking atmosphere.

Dethroned

 

The smallest room yields

to the expanding kitchen;

more home improvements.

The smallest room, Haiku
The smallest room, Haiku

Painting the ceiling

 

Why don’t we simply

pay for a professional

to suffer for us?

Walk

 

On my own

walking Bristol streets

on tired legs

this cold day

blowing away the cobwebs

shaking off the blues.

Split

 

Nation divided

by weather and politics;

flood, drought and Brexit.

Hail

 

At first a gentle

plink plink tapping the windows,

then the crescendo.
