sunbathing

the shadow of a vapour trail

spoils the moment 

 don’t you dare

replies with did did 

didn’t you

 many paths where

the bees branch out

- a moment

 a hover-fly

shadow boxing the blossom

takes a dive

a hover-fly

in the falling blossom

shadow boxing

 glanced between 

the door and the foxgloves

fox prints

assassination 

he will be sorely missed 

- again

 sunny table

the shadow of the cat falls

into the green bucket 

 not a crossword 

but two writers talking

at cross purposes 

seventy today

and the tide is only half way in

happy days

Gill (and Phil)

 elderly neighbour 

please feed my cat

i am in A & E

running up the steps

my racing heart

catches my breath

heart rate 

running up the steps

i catch my breath 

heart rate 

racing up the steps

i catch my breath 

 sunrise 

golden vapour trails
