Mugger

 

Up on Brandon Hill

the lazy streetwise squirrels

mug folk for vittels.

Frost

 

Jack came calling last

night; sugar-crystal blanket

transforms the garden.

Three squirrels

 

One by one by one

they ripple up and down trees

foraging for food.

Winter warmer

 

Bright flames dance and coal

crackles; creature comforts of

a warm Winter fire.

Happy

 

Joyful crisp morning

walking my daughter to school

chatting and laughing.

  • You see, it’s not all bad out there.

Invisible

 

Passers by avert

their gaze; it is rude after

all to stop and stare.

Butterfly day

 

Flitting from here to

there, never stopping for long;

these Winter weekends.

Bright

 

Blind from the sun’s kiss,

a sweet inconvenience

of Winter’s orbit.

Sweet ghost of Christmas past

 

Irresistable;

knock down advent calendar

with marzipan treats.

Confused

 

Still flowering, a

Serbian bellflower coats

the front garden wall.
