Early train

.

Skeletal trees line

the trackside and dark low cloud

turns all things to bronze.

Platform passenger

.

A man eating grapes

barely pausing for breath

finishes the lot.

Bath

.

Sandy grey stonework

catching shards of morning light

in Aquae Sulis.

Vulpes

.

Nonchalant creature

skulks slowly across the tracks;

feigned indifference.

Office with a dynamic view

.

Journey to London

just enough time to prepare;

important meeting.

Interruption

,

One is company

two’s a crowd. Joined by colleague

on the London train.

Free range

.

Penned in by green fields

neat rows of cloche-like dwellings;

mud pigs on a hill.

Irritation

.

Sweet wrapper crackle

impolite in extremis

when I’m in this mood.

Window on the world

.

A view from the train

the meandering river

where fours and eights pull;

predominant colour green

and all feels good with the world.

Thaw

.

Long snow-lined hedgerows

stand proud in the warming sun

seeing off winter.
