on a cool September day

cycling together.

To be trapped is to

be filled with a fear so great

that all fight subsides.

But it was a nightmare

 

It was not a bad

dream; our night time visitor

dropped ‘Bun’ in the loo.

School drag

A school-bound child screams

‘take me home mummy please’; it

Autumn harvester

too much maligned grey cousin

of Potter’s Nutkin.

Fifteen years

 

The Summer days of

our life together will not

be dampened by rain.

Deeply superficial

 

When tomorrow comes

will I be any wiser

or more frivolous?

Summer’s lease…

 

How long must we wait

to revel in warmth again

and bathe in sunlight?

Cor blimey!

 

Surprises from those

you love the most are always

the greatest of all

  • I returned home from a football match yesterday to find a full size Banksy wallpaper poster on our living room wall. Surprised. Very happy.

 

 

Autumn life

 

Young whippersnappers

take heed; your golden years will

begin in your fall
