Icecream
Can’t get enough
Sweet treat
Cooling balm.
Too much
Sugar rush
But too little
I’m sad
In a mood
My favourite
Food!

Caterpillars
Crawling and creeping
Eating and munching
All over my nasturtiums
They chomp the leaves.
Soon to crystallise
Into chrysalis, cased-
What will the pupate into?
Butterflies, Moths, Sawflies?
Holey plants turned to beauty….
Still growing
How does my garden grow
Fast and green
Full of colour
Spreading out
Hard to walk through
So many plants
Too many plants?
Very lovely to see…
No golden bells
Or cockle shells
Or pretty maids all in a row?
No just colour and flowers!
Waiting
He’s getting better
And I’m waiting.
For when his eye is better
Than it is now
For when his mouth has healed.
For when his fur is clean.
White as snow and black as charcoal.
Happy again, healthy and healed.
Hmmm
Hmmm
What am I thinking
What am I doing?
Staying up late again.
NOISE OUTSIDE?!
What is that?
The cat fighting the cat flap!
She’s allowed out
But she can’t always get back in
A bit to small and thin!
The stray cat smashed
The cat flap
Now it’s held together with
glue and tape.
We need a new one.
Late night thoughts…
Shakey Arm typing
Wibbld wobble
Tyoenig with a
Shakey Arm.
The phone wibbled
As I tye
I’m not goikng to.
Correct what
I type.
Shaking and vibratung
How do i catcb
Tye letters as
They dance under
My fi get?
Spend agrs
Correcring
Grrr!
Discussing memories
Memories blur
Like old photos
Frosted glass
You can’t see clearly
Stains on your mind
From painful memories
The edges curl up
Fade and twist
What you remember
Might not be true
People say things
Imply things
Change the way you think
Without understanding
Without caring
To fit their stories
Making their lives better
At your expense.
Go out and hold
Your memories tight
Save them like
Green shield stamps
To pay the ferryman
Later…
In a spin
In a spin
My head whirls
Twists
Turns
Round and round
No way back
Just forwards
In time
The clock has ticked
Time goes fast
We have to follow
My spinning mind
Watches
Tick tick tock
The clock
Spinning
Down
Gone, not gone?
My heart hurts
I miss you so much
I stroke your shadow
In my imagination
The way you purred
And pranced
Jumped high
Balanced like a gymnast
My podgy puddy cat
Leaned back and looked up
Paw high
Reaching
Waiting to nuzzle my hand
My memories
My dreams
You are still there.
Like Schrodinger’s Cat
Gone, not gone?
Lingering
Drinks?
Coloured drinks glasses
For…..
Fruit juice
Or……
Apple
And…..
Orange
Maybe
Lemonade?
All look good
In these
Lovely beakers.
