Life

 

If there’s a reason

then surely days like today

in part explain it.

Earned privilege

 

Between a dog walk

and shopping, I sneak a snooze;

Saturday PM.

Daydream ski

 

The steep sweet meadows

now clad in deep mountain snow

softly summon me.

Decorations

 

Pack up the boxes

an eleven month slumber

in the loft awaits.

Drag

 

These non-descript days

file by unloved unwanted

January blues

Dawn

 

These gossamer threads

untroubled by passing feet;

natural wonder.

2018

.

For many reasons

a year not to celebrate;

time to look forward.

1918. Dean Lane skate park (181)

You can’t hold him back. Mr Draws was planning to go and live in Germany at the end of the summer, but for whatever reason his plans fell through. His loss is surely Bristol’s gain as he continues to brighten up the place with his burners.

This one has a rather wintry feel about it, the colours and icy drips definitely feel a bit frosty. I love the way that Mr Draws just keeps on going – no matter what life throws at him, he just seems to pick himself up and carry on. It has been a while since I last chatted with him, which is a pity, because he is a really lovely bloke.

Christmas cards

 

Infuriating

time-thief, although utterly

worth it in the end.

Three’s company

Dawn squirrels frolic

silhouettes against grey skies

in skeleton trees.
