Green eyes

Like olives

Shining ovals

Stare out at me

Boop

Purring…

Touch noses

Then a pounce

Onto the floor

Off on an adventure

Back later

For more

Sad birch

The leaves fall

Silver birch wilt

Sad trees heated

Beyond nature

Driven to drop

Their browning

Paper thin foliage

No doubt about it.

Climate change exists.

Red bag and brush

Imitating a poppy.

I love you scarlet

The colour of lipstick.

Too hot to handle

Not cool but hot

Flamed and fierce

Like glowing lava

Starting to radiate.

Furnace cherry

Ready to be hammered

Into dragon shapes.

Red flower

Red bag

Red brush

Red blood,

Red paint

Shades and tones

Scarlet poppy

Crimson lake

Sunset cerise

Carmine rose

Ruby jewel

Cherry lipstick…

So vibrant

Blushes and berries

Heat is rising,

Bring me Green…

The copse on the hill

The copse on the hill.
High Trees
An ancient site.
Clouds scud – fly by
A Storm will blow,
And rouse the world.
Sleepy valleys,
Shaded by darkening clouds, ~
Let it rain, wind blow
Bring relief
From drought.

Ignoring emails

Apologies world

I don’t want to hear

The millions of messages

Or emails or ads

I just get fed up

Of going through dross

To find the few gems.

I will reply soon

Just giving my brain

A rest.

Fan time

Third heatwave in a few weeks

I’m exhausted

Too hot

Found a small fan.

But I wait for the room

To get hot

Before I switch it on.

Then bliss as cool air

Sweeps over me

But don’t want to use

Too much electricity…

She’s the last

I want her to last

Have all of her 9 lives

Have the best life

The most love

Make her queen

Of the castle

My Cat.

Stretching

You lie flat,

Relaxed

Trying to stay cool

Purring out of sleep

Into a hot day

More sleep heals

Till you come down for breakfast.

Headache

Just like that my heads banging

No warning

Thudding

Long time since I had one.

Tired neck

Aching eyes

Need sleep

Need food

Symptoms of fatigue

Let me know when

I can sleep

Deep

And painless and quiet.
