 floodlit is floodlit

rising from the gloaming mists


oystermouth castle

 daffodils 

distilling the sunlight


from a breeze

 sadly

the bird in the music box 


sang sadly

 from behind my eyes

there is something urging me

now write this down

 from a room

far away across the sea

she followed me

we met just once in NYC

now that’s a pretty pity 

 glorious sunrise

soon the red will turn to grey


another day begins

 there are drips in caves 

they make the stalactites 

listen it take years

 not one word wasted 

daffodils in the sunshine

in a blue pot


after the rain had gone

after i had had coffee

 unreal drama

corpses wearing our clothes


and the winner is …

 palm reading 

the future is all

past caring

 nodding rod lights

fishermen under the moon


catching a moment 

 the plan is 

a swim at ten thirty

after coffee

 we will never see

the blackness of the blackness

because of the light

 springtime

above the washing line 


a rainbow

Friday, 23 February 2024

 a bit of sunshine 

and spring springs to mind

silly isn’t it

 proof reading 

the poem becomes another


poem’s proof

 visiting kitten

hiding in the daffodils 


bright and breezy

 d_d_daffodils

winking in the puddles


from morning showers

knowing all the rules

a poet loses the plot

ticking the boxes

 that blossom

what’s its name

you know

 frog’s spawn 

in the frog’s pond

 february rain

chirping sparrows dripping 


through the hazel

 global warming 

tomatoes in winter 


cause and effect 

 ditto ditto plinked the rain

 seventy five

old enough for a booster


of my morale

Tuesday, 6 February 2024

 i think

and the boat of memory sinks

my heart aches

touching the touchstones

skimming how many times

 shell shocked 

the fertility of a yolk


in a bloodied egg

 black leaves left and went

 an art nouveau door ate me

 worry paths always end up at the beginning

Sunday, 4 February 2024

 the lanterns are lit

slowly the dawn arrives


it is still raining

 global heating

give it to me straight doc


how long have we got

 pandemic

a statistician 


becomes a statistic

Saturday, 3 February 2024

 windy morning

the lanterns are flickering 

i went out

Friday, 2 February 2024

 winter

the oscillation of expectation 

slush

 marbles

remembering the boys

i lost mine

Thursday, 1 February 2024

 spring sunshine 

the top of a mole hill 


drying out
