Twigs and branches
Boughs and trunks
In the winter shaken loose
March winds
Bend and break
Damaging weather
Lost limbs
Moss grows
Lichen too
Fungi found in boles
Hoots in holes.
Tree life.
Oak or Ash
April brings
Soak or splash.
Twigs…

Filter coffee?
Friends chat
Over a filter coffee
So I take a photo
Add a filter
On my phone
Filtered friends
Filtered conversation
Fun exploration
Of life.
Chaos theory
What’s something most people don’t understand?
Clouds and fractals
Fjords and lightning strikes
The Mandelbrot set
Strange attractors
Entangled Electrons
Quantum Mechanics
Heisenbergs Uncertainty
These are a few things
I don’t understand!
But I’d like to try….
Three hours sleep.
Grey Dawn awoke me
Went to bed at three
Read a book to soothe
But could not grasp sleep
Dreaming the word eluded
My mind on fire
Swirling like smoke
Snap a nap then awoke…
I want to find a way in
To oblivion.
Old TV
When I was young we used to see
Children’s programmes on tv
Chigley, Trumpton, Camberwick Green
Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb were seen.
Then came the Herbs and a dog called Dill.
Parsley the Lion, I remember him still….
The theme music that we would sing
The Clangers, and Magpie, fun they’d bring
Puppet shows galore there were on TV
Like Stingray and Thunderbirds you’d see.
With Bill and Ben
Wild flowerpot men!
So much to remember from years ago
When I was a child…Memory fast not slow!
Looking forward
To flowers
And plants
Geranium, poppy, fushias
Petunias and surfinias
Mounds of green leaves
Hidden tomato plants
Surrounded by scent
Wild and cultivated
Hanging baskets blooming
Like overflowing fountains
I hope summer is here soon.
Little friend
Every night she paws in,
Footpads run and jump
Up on the bed
Miaow, purr, headbutted
Poddled by her paws
Seeking love
Then she sits
On my chest.
Miew for a head scratch
Tickle behind the ears
Stroke her back
Give love and receive love.
Little cat, big love.
Renewed
I was sad to see winter
I want life to be renewed
Green and gold leaves
Pink blossom
Blue sky with fluffy clouds
Pour on a wash of yellow
Daffodils and tulips
Give me Spring!
Now.
Hot
I am not cold tonight
I’m hot
Spicy food got me
I feel heated up
My blood boils
Thirst grabs my throat.
A bit of spice attacks
Makes me blaze
Too much flavour
I like some spices
But chilli does not make me chilly
It makes me hot
Burning mouth
Need water
Less next time
Please
Sleep
I close my eyes and wish
For sleep to kiss my cheek
Caress my tired neck
And let me rest my mind.
Instead I lie awake
Uncomfortable and sad
If I could ignore the world
Lose my thoughts
I would be glad.
Night ticks into day
Light blooms in my eyes
I want real sleep to stay
To end my tired gloom.
