 suburbia 

the fussy man cuts his hedge


lawn lawn lawn

 behaviour modification 

the ongoing battle between 


the cat and i 

Saturday, 19 July 2025

then the cat and i 


sniff upon the morning breeze

we’ll decide later 

 slowly dawn

when the sun climbs the fennel


thought’s fly

Friday, 18 July 2025

 light rain

pulling out all the stops


lavender bush

 butterflies entwined

in their flight of ignoring


all but each other

 the rape fields

have erased the soil’s soul

express train

 waiting for summer

the weight of the drizzle


didn’t did drip 

 traffic traffic

two butterflies dancing

through the red lights

 summer

a heavy drizzle


just got heavier

 that longing look

from the gap in the bookshelf 


where a lent book

 just like the hens

poets scratching around 


expecting

 frightening 

there is no one else


it has to be me

 dawn

and it’s getting darker

there’s rain on the way


darker and darker

and the wind is rising

sheets of rain

 posturing

at my mirror image


i let out a sigh

 a flash of sunshine

on the tall yellow fennel


dispelled the storm

 the day depends on the red geranium

 there’s a sparrow

sitting in the corkscrew hazel

looking at the cat


sparrows

the cat goes apeshit

everywhere 

 high summer

when i turn the tap on


the sprinkler stops

 on life’s long road

we all need a shrine

to all we need

 on the library roof

next to the buddleia


a seagull  

above the red bridge

the sun comes out


life warms slightly 

 swansea air show

low cloud base

steady rain

fair do’s

red arrows 

crushing a horsefly

i see my own blood splattered

i am so sorry  

 comet viewing

as light as a feather

my thoughts of you

 blinking moon

tears in the starlight

of regrets
