New paintings and regular art updates.
Cats have eaten
Ones gone out
He likes outside
Too much
The others curl
In warmth
By radiators
Or next to heaters
Feeling the warmth
Bedtime
Check the doors
Lock the windows
Turn out the lights
Sleep under these eaves
Rest and refresh
Goodnight all.
Tranquil water
Peat stained stream
Full of life
Nature’s dream.
Tiny fish
That hide in pools
How I miss
Ice cream, cool
Dappled sunlight
Dusty paths
Sometimes too bright,
Sunlights flash!
Over stepping stones…
Feet to splash
Memories recalled
Of times fast dash.
Paws up under the thow
Head out, mirowing!
Climbs up,
Head thrown back!
Claws tear the chair arm
Jump
And
Pounce
Twist
And
Jump!
Sister runs past
Cat slalom off
Into the distance…..
Zooming around and singing
Looking from face to face
Video calls are booming
Talking around all night
Ladies and gents
Are choiring
Baritone, alto and bass
Having fun with music
Playing a lively tune.
Descants and sopranos
Fun around half past eight.
Wood rots and crumbles
Fingers of fungus bore in
Fruiting bodies bloom
Blossom and grow.
Saporophytic feeding
Sucking nutrients
From cellulose.
From dead wood
New life grows.
It flowered
And I had to show it
Resplendent trumpet
In electric light
Will you flower forever
Or fade away
Winter wonder
Snow White petals
Like an oil painting
Covered in heavy brown varnish
My cats huddled,
Staring at the fire,
Preparing to write letters?
No, just enveloped
In warmth!
Indoor boy cat
Lies and waits
Wary eye turned
Towards the door.
Will outdoor boy
come in?
Eat his food
Drink his milk
Pinch his place
On the couch?
All is quiet
All is well
Sleep kitty,
Dream of toy sheep
If outdoor boy arrives
I will keep him from you.
As the leaves go
The light sneaks in
Under the branches
Pools on the cupboard
Shadows flicker
A golden dawn
Frost laden
Rays are weaker now
Days are shorter
Past equinox
Night extends
Smile when you see
Rare sun.
Make leaves fly
Scattered colours
Sky high
Fallen mounds
Of cold dry leaves
Kicked up and scattered
In November chills
Ice and water
Rain and gales
Scattered colours
Dancing swirls.
In the woods
Over hills,
Along the roads
Spreading far and wide.
