Sleeping

Snoozing

Sharing

Sweet.

Staring

Settled

Snug

Soft.

Sheltered

Subtle

Down

Downwards

Through the air

Lower and lower

Faster

Slipping through the atmosphere

Tumbling

Speed

Rushing…

Falling

Parachute!

Snapped and broken

Lying crushed

Your red heart

Exposed

Squashed,

Cut off in your prime.

Your parents will recover

But you,

Young flower

Petals besmirched,

You have sacrificed

Yourself to the storm

Darn! I decided to clean up my photos, and suddenly they are all mixed up! Photos from 2018 ahead of 2021!

I’ve got photos I need, I will have to edit them to push some of them forward I hope?

They are still there though.. But how irritating!

Out of order,

Out of time

Memories?

I forget where.

Three tears

For three years

Confused art

Where to start!

A little doodle

Irritating

Old pottery

So sad to see the decay

Weeds and rubble on display

Once hard working

Now rats lurking

Crumbling brickwork

At the old works

Let it survive

Keep pottery alive

This is our history

Part of life’s mystery

Cat in control…

Asleep

Paws out

Claws at the ready

Ready to pounce

If I even dare

To touch

The

Remote

Control!

Back yard

Too many flowers

Growing out and round

Hanging baskets

Decked out and grand.

Pots filled with lots

Of colours and shapes

Joy to my heart

These flower baskets make.

A real riot of colour

Blooming in my heart

And the heart

Of the city.

I must go down to the sea again

Says the old poem.

And I know why

Beauty and violence

Gentle lapping wavelets

And white horses.

Frantic families

Lost sailors

Storms and waves

So high they reach up, up

To the sky.

Birds skim the surface

Grab fish in their beaks

Puffins and Skewers

Cormorants and Choughs

Ever changing

Sometimes boring

I must go there again.

Face app?

I don’t need retouching

Thanks.

Or soft focus

Blending

Trimming down.

I am me

I wear my own mask

A fairy seems to hover

Over the lake

Wings flutter

Like a humming bird

A cupped hand

Reaches out

A small pool

in her palm

Takes a sip

Watches

the water

Drip
