Cat washing

Cat gymnastics

Wash that face

Wash that leg.

Rough tongued

Smooths fur.

On and on

Till spic and span

Dusty whiskers

Long gone.

A paw here

A claw there

Cat cleaned

To perfection

Within a whisker.

Roses

What are they?

Pink petals

Soft

Finely scented

Given with love and devotion

Showing they care

Perfect flowers

Blushing with beauty

For love and lovers.

Avocado?

No…

Aubergine

No

Aardvark?

Alpha Centauri

Er…

August

Not yet…

Aniseptics

Not quite..

Autumn

Now that’s silly!

Argonaut

Yeah right

What then

Apple!

Looking out

What kind of eye

Looks out with a metallic glint?

Surface shining and gleaming

Like curved glass.

Robotic thoughts

Crash with emotion

Cogs meshed and unmeshed.

Indefinite or infinite ideas

Spiralling down into black depths.

Oily liquid lubricates

Diamond glimmers

Do you need love?

How do you reflect in that eye?

Kissing cat

Nudged

Head butted

By a cat

Soft cheeks

Half closed eyes.

That stare under lids

At you.

Rapt

With love

Purring

‘bring me food’

He seems to say….

Roses

Metallic paint on black paper

Pale roses with red edges

Starting to fade

And fall

Soon your petals will drop

The vase emptied

Water poured away

Paint can fade too

Lost in a sketchbook

Somewhere in my mind.

Mask

Wear a mask they said

Blue is good, they said

I chose this one

With a sea theme on…

But cover your mouth

For when you breathe out

Don’t breathe the germs

That the air returns.

So I scrapped this mask

Got a blue one for the task

Made of papier-

Mache!

Purple

Shall I colour my hair purple?

Shall I cover the grey?

Replace the silver with a violet hue,

Like old ladies

Have their hair coloured blue?

Doodle an idea,

Just to see

But the drawing

Looks nothing like me!

A is for Apple

In a crazed,

cracked bowl

Sits an Apple

Green and crunchy

Ready to eat

Crisp skin

Flecked with gold.

Sharp tasting

But sweet

Glistening

Delicate

Tiny, white.

Hint of pink

Shades of green

Soft yellows

Dots of paprika orange

On a denim background.

Green stems

Hold them together

Like a couple holding hands….
