Planting potatoes

 

Regimented rows

eyes up looking at the sky

before darkness falls.

Jobs around the house

 

Productivity

can be close to godliness;

today I stepped up.

Herbs

 

Sweet satisfying

scents of pineapple sage and

lemon thyme; Spring time.

Sentimental journey

 

Clearing the attic

memories oozing through me;

a nostalgic day.

Summertime

 

A blustery day

in a pooh bear sort of way;

wind and sun and rain.

They’ll always give you something to worry about

 

With perfect timing,

youngest leaves for Easter camp

as ‘Katie’ storms in.

The Fantastick

 

Captivated by

her looks and celebrity;

my crush did not last.

 

By Scooj

 

  • Inspired by a conversation with Rose. It recounts a schoolboy crush I had on a girl who was in a school production of The Fantasticks.

Workshop

 

Felicitation;

Today I’m learning about

facilitation.

Personal resilience

 

I’m in the red zone,

mercury rising; think it’s

time for a haiku.

 

by Scooj

 

  • Written in a personal resilience workshop (preparing for a change programme) describing what I do when the pressure is on.

Easter forecast

 

Midas is losing

his touch, as gold turns to grey

and Spring stalls again.
