Bin day blues

 

Rotting food street smells

my walk to work polluted;

reality check.

Bridge

 

Crossing the divide

where glacial meltwater

cuts ever seawards.

Good reputation

 

Difficult to build,

to maintain requires effort,

so easy to lose.

Blue

 

Still for a moment,

frenetic journey frozen;

an angel in blue.

 

by Scooj

Once loved

 

Through the mist of time

thoughts of you evaporate

into the ether.

Examination

 

Need to book eye test;

wish they’d call it a check up

I don’t like failing.

 

by Scooj

Still raging

 

The angry young man

is healthy and vibrant in

this old man’s body.

Sandwiches

 

Summer in full swing;

office workers lunch in parks

and pigeons look on.

Fountain pen

 

As the cool ink flows

memories flood back of old

carved wooden school desks.

Deception

 

Paradise island

not all it appears to be;

no food, no nothing.
