you are alone

he read

so was he not

the lady

with the two dogs

returns home 

 if rabbits

fought like cats

the fox would starve

 oh no

coffee’s all gone

but the sun’s shining 

 gossamer 

the time that has left

has spun its web

 blossoms blossoms

one minute they fill our eyes

next we tread on them

 morning sunshine

music to my ears

soft voices

 not many miles 

between their smiles 

and their sneers

 magnolia 

we beg them not to fall

but every year

 love letter

sent to her in junior school 

headmaster’s room - now!

time was chasing

her on my three wheeler 

me on her scooter  

 scaffolding

the bamboo lives again

- cherry blossom
