Deep green
Green leaves
Leaves flutter
Flutter like birds
Birds singing
Singing songs
Songs of summer..

My keys
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
A simple thing
But I have my keys
Close by..
If I lose them I panic
I’m stuck without them
Don’t know where
There’s any spare!
Sometimes they go
Where? I don’t know..
Under the clock?
My mind mocks me?
Why can’t I see?
So I keep them safe
Those special
Keys to my heart.
Wanders in cat…
He comes in for 5 minutes
Sniffs his food
Ignores it
Comes and lies down in a loaf
Shaped like a bread
Then gets up
Stares at me
Walks off
Out the catflap.
I’m clearly below his status
I think he’s going to a new home
Someone must be feeding him
But I’ll still love him
Big beautiful boy.

(not that I’m obsessed).
Remembering to water the plants.
Describe one habit that brings you joy.
If I forget they wilt.
They sag and look sad.
I can only water
This limited area
Viewed from the back door
And kitchen
Scent wafts in
And gives me joy.
Short, chubby, grey hair,
How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you?
Yes, this is me
Getting on
Getting older
My mind thinks I’m 25
Not 40 years older!
How to describe?
Straggly grey hair
A blob of a nose
Thin lips
A prominent chin
Not many wrinkles
Small eyes
Usually behind glasses…
Short
Lumpy and dumpy
Worn out
Thoughtful.
Happier cat
Excuse my slippers
He found a patch of sun earlier
Lay down and showed his belly
He rolled and twirled
Whirled and purred
Happier than last night
Breathing now just right.
I can’t believe
What 12 hours rest
Can change
Happier cat.
My Eye
I’m waiting, with some trepidation, to have eye surgery to remove a cataract.
When will I see you again?
Will you see me?
Patched like a pirate,
Hidden from my view,
Two dimensional,. Everything…
Lost vision
Hope I’m patched up
Soon…
My cat
She’s regal
A true queen.
Jumps across me at bedtime
She has made her own space.
Black and white
Cute and small.
Friend.
Cactii
Celebrate cactii
They just don’t die
Easily anyway
Not too thirsty
Find the balance
Wet or dry?
Keep them happy
They’ll thrive
