He’s not watching tv
He’s reading
He’s finding out
Facts and figures
Fiction and delight
Sitting reading
Relaxing and settled
Sunday afternoon
Comfortable life.

Merged
Merged,
Me and he
Forty years together
Him and me
Us.
Blue and brown eyes
Beard and bare face
White hair and brown
Smile and frown
Friendship, partners
Together.
Thinking of you
And me
Life sentences
Words
Time.
Sunset today
Sunset
Branches reaching
Like Michaelangelo’s
Painting of God
And Adam
Stars of the Sistine,
The branches reach out
In a sinuous curve
Do the limbs and twigs
Touch, spark
Set fire to the coming night?
The sunset blazes on….
Stained glass window like
Beauty.
Face
Self portrait, abstract face, imagined radio telescope, contrast, thinking, list, try to write tags as a blog, imagination staccato, broken, poem lacking poetry, no rhyme, anxious, calm? Satellite, image, lost memory, solarize, a brief history of what? Experience and experiment, conscious, concentrate. Observe words, expected explanation. Nonsense. Uttered. Rambling, waffle…
Is it a ship?
Is it a fence?
Yes it’s a fence…
Sunset scene,
Sky and clouds,
Metal railings
Holds us out.
Grass is green
The weather, clear
A place to walk,
But only accessed
By those that know
The way in,
Where to go?
An alleyway
Or footpath, so
Take a step
And find your way.
Enjoy the ending
Of the day.
Still some light in the sky
And the year turns. I know when we are past the shortest day when there is still light in the sky at after 5pm. It cheers me up.
Daylight
Delights me
Brightens my mood
Makes me smile
Despite the cloud
Banked up
With rain or sleet
Awakens my spirit
Woken from sleep.
Hibernating
I might sleep till spring
Curled up and snug
Warm in my bed
Like a tidy ladybug
The sheets white like snow
Blue shadowed and dug
Deep into the duvet.
Then come springs light
Warm sun so bright
I’ll yawn and awake
Like blossom burst forth,
But till then I’ll wait
And keep warm.
Swan
Swanning around
The Swan swam
Peaceful and proud
Sheltered from the wind
On a cold lake.
Amaryllis flowers
Pale ink and white
Flowers exploded like a rocket
Amaryllis is a firework
Of a plant…
Water it well
And stand back!
From a tiny tip
Of a leaf
Two weeks ago,
This grew and bloomed
Water is the key
Pour it on
And the plant expands.
But once grown
Reduce, reduce
Too much water
Can rot the roots…
Alliteration
Bull balancing
Sheep stirring
Python platting
Cat chatting
Axalotle algorithm
Giraffe glancing
Bat battling
Whippet whittling
Chicken chucking
Mole mobilisations
Shellfish shelling
Crustacean chilling
Dugong debating
Man miscellaneous
Seagull sailing
Eagle ending.
