I must be parsimonius

The door stays locked

Money is a great big fuss

Payments will be stopped.

My purse is not bottomless

The moths are growing big

The dust in there is limitless

While fuel bills they still rig

The cost of living crisis

Has got us by the throat

Money goes by osmosis

Out of a sinking boat!

So now I will spend less

Cutting my money cloth

Mcawber rules I will address

No cash now for froth!

Entwined

Youth to age

All one thing

Sliding and slipping

Entwined spirits

Damage and youth

Smooth then wrinkled

The bath of life at work

My hands are aged

Twitching, throbbing

Trigger finger hurts.

But keep drawing

Never give up

Never!

No hedgehogs..

Keeping an eye out

Looking for hedgehogs

Trying to see

The glint in its eye

Leaving out cat food

Lots of berries

Bits of apple.

But it’s been cold

Frosts in the morning

Ice in the bowl

Hope they return.

Hybernating

I could say pandemics…

What makes you nervous?

It rhymes with might

I won’t see this sight

You can keep your air

It’s just not fair

You see I’m nervous

But not being verbose

I won’t write big words

Like phobic? of birds…

I look at the sky

And my, oh my

I see a plane

Flying to Spain

Or over an airport

Where airplanes depart..

You won’t catch me in one

I just think they’re no fun!

So you hear me cry..

I just won’t fly!

Belly

Cats eye

You look at me

Eyes full of hunger

Are you a lion?

A tiger?

Or just a cat.

Tomorrow I’ll buy

The best food

Tonight?

it’s pilchards

Sorry…

Wrapped up…

I’m wrapped up in thought

Tied in knots

Fearful and hopeful

Maybe happy?

Trails of thoughts

Run along tracks

I need to slip off

Onto free land

Find my way out

Beyond the gravity

Of memory

Break those bonds

Clear my mind

Float into space….

Oops!

Oh dear me

Put this in the wash

Water too hot?

Or the plate knocked

Against a pan.

Must have been

Cracked…

Sad to lose

A favourite

Plate.

Can you mourn

it?

Gone…

Blue

Lapis lazuli

I love you

Blue rock heated

Sulphur in it

See the world

As a blue marble

A small blue dot

In infinite space.

Now we know

Other blue planets

But is there water

On those orbs?

Cat wish

I wish I was a cat. Curled up curves, elegant in sleep. Cashew nut shape, spiral, sweet.

I wish I was a cat, that’s just been fed, delicate meals or lion roaring red.

I wish I were a cat, washing paws and face, the most incredible positions, but all done with grace.

I wish I were a cat, out in the wild, climbing trees in gardens. But home again to play.

I wish I were a cat, companion and good friend. Asleep on your lap. Pinned you down, so he can nap!
