Some eggs, flour and milk

and a very hot oven;

Yorkshire pudding done.

In the shadow of

Brunel’s finest, but worthy

of such company.

Happy happy day,

mums and dads brimming with pride;

mortar boards and gowns.

Hanging

 

Too much on my mind;

I begin to forget words

and say ‘thing’…a lot.

Black Headed Gulls

 

Fearing my approach

gulls sidle away from me

before taking flight.

A left hand sun dog

hanging in the freezing sky

Winter’s on the way.

Windfall

 

Roaring winds recede

and stillness descends. Fallen

apples, food for worms.

Fortunate

 

When you don’t have much

it seems any chair will do;

I have many chairs.

Night terrors replay

in my mind; so vivid and

frightening and strange.
