Wistful potted plant,
yearning, just one bee for me?
Outdoors, life flies by.

Red dressing gown boys
intent on model railway.
Ghost of Christmas past.

Cloud crows nagging nerk

Cloud crows nagging nerk
at the plough's long stony screech.
Winter frosts to chew.

Of my childhood haunts,
where I played haunted houses.
Why did we not see?
Went back to my home.
Found I'd never been away.
But they had all gone.
I sit, the cat sits.
Alone with our thoughts.
The music plays.
Know that I can be,
if I were writing it now.
Great poets are.

Infinite poems,

readers, interpretations. 

Mine in fine night eye.

Sigh drizzle swirls,
where once floated sunbeam dust.
Year composting down.

Not studied English.
English has not studied me.
Ne'er the twain shall?
Musical wormholes
transport us to the heavens
My mind a sponge

So many roads at the

So many roads at the
intersection of infinity.
Everyone the right one

Wild garlic flowers
Two feathers, for spring has flown
Warm soup simmering
Poet at sunset
avid reader of the dawn
Our pages are numbered
When life’s pot is full
stir it and cook a poem
Reading hand in hand
Feelings into words
Poetry no mystery
Reader the mirror
Momentary the
red admiral flutters wings
Autumn sunshine caught

Sun on my iPad
Is this dappled world real
Grandchildren will know

A let-me-in leaf 
dancing on a window web
Sun-splashed I sleep

Cat stops with paw raised
in the first long slant of dawn
Sniffing a sunbeam





Wednesday 4 October 2017


High bird leaves, sad dusk
over these incessant tides
Autumn in full spate





Tuesday 3 October 2017


Long shadow bowls green
Sun the golden pavilion
Autumn is biased






The old man's fingers 
claw the rattle fringed linen
Sea spittle meets sand







Sea swimmer's Everest
Salt under the back scratcher
Seaweed in the bath






Monday 2 October 2017

White cottage, grey smoke
above a cold pebble bank
Bare winter trees ask

Swansea boy Dylan
Always under his mantle
Write you are then like

.
The man with cancer
daily swimming in the sea
Damned if it will
