Allotment fox

 

Silent approaches,

nonchalant glances exchanged;

mutual respect.

M4 Car Journey (2)

 

Beautiful England

all around and before me

and the radio.

M4 Car Journey (1)

 

Dire and depressing

monotonous straight Tarmac

a means to an end.

Bananaflage

 

You cannot run, you

cannot hide from the bad bunch;

you can’t slip away.

Together

 

Unfurl in my arms

unravel in my embrace

safety in numbers.

Treading water

 

Floating about in

a sea of uncertainty;

hold on or let go?

Bittercress

 

Frail unpretentious

flower too small to notice

too fair to ignore.

Close your eyes for a moment

 

Hear the tide ebbing,

seaweed pops and crackles and

bright water gurgles.

Her Monday morning

 

Squinting through makeup

that fails to cover the truth;

a heavy weekend.

Heron

 

In its grey coat it

came, eyeing up the neighbours

fishpond, then vanished.
