‪on the last bus‬

‪the city lights dreaming by‬

‪suddenly my face‬

spider prodded

twitched all through the winter

broken spring

the broken roof

always calls the wind to play

clapping

the all-mighty sky

reigning over my roof

do drop in

the wind 

always finds a hole

for the rain

autumn evening

from a dream of christmas

the gift of a smile

the dawn’s day‬

‪ends up as a pile of rust‬

‪for the night cleaner‬

morning after

the sky’s contrite blushes

deep snowfield

autumn storm

wild sea hurling back the leaves

street sweeper’s nightmare 

hail shower

under an outstretched wing

the wood pigeon blinks

street artist

asking

where are you

autumn sea

even the wind is grey

then snowflakes

the weatherman

arranges a windy day

birthday candles

lightening 

counting the seconds

— thunder

autumn

birds nests and beehives

under the eves

bury me dead deep

flow molten mantle dear love

around this cold heart 

‪broom‬
‪quiet says the leaf blower‬
‪but it isn’t‬

blue snow

red finger breath

log fire

winter night

after the snowballs

fire fingers

autumn 

in the cemetery 

cyclamen

the frog

where has he been all winter

courting fervour 

the frog

sitting in the duckweed 

what a clown

scribbling 

all across dusk’s eraser

bats

hero worship

a raffia mat across a bog

creepy crawlies

autumn storm

a fig outside the front door

too whet

music

angst from the past

reheated

chanting

the snow mimes the winter

gusty wind

wet autumn day

then the sun comes out again

school report

bird in the poem

shall it be male or female

not easy PC

cemetery 

up in the blue sky

contrail 

back from my walk

with armfuls of found poems

treasure X map

cemetery 

on the warm tombstones

a flutter bye

autumn

leaves littering

Twitter

morning sunshine

the cat pinches my seat

sundial

‪haiku‬
‪from the swarm‬
‪one bee settles‬

sitting alone
the incontinence of thought
malapropism

morning sunshine

the silver birch starts snowing

autumn leaves

obituaries 

days counting down the days 

until

the cat

drops into my snooze

OK    OK

a lone soprano

slowly undressing the night

see-through moonbeams

as cherry leaves

the dawns and sunsets

of october 

plump old ladies

in their pinafores 

dead ringers

wales 

mountains and cemeteries 

widow’s tears

spider moon

spinning lies on autumn rain 

suspends be leaf

mmm nice food

thank you - yours faithfully

pussy cat

music and sunbeams

Sunday morning on the cusp

bang! brexit!

dead tree driftwood

sand branches remembering

the sea leaves reprise

‪temple visit‬
‪leaving more than we find ‬
‪incense stick‬

‪to the trained eye‬
‪it’s the international‬
‪space station ‬

at a sneeze

in the approaching storm

the cat panics 

hermit

walled in by visitors

visiting thoughts

in the storm

the cat of nine tails

snaps

storm

black and blue

come closer

jellyfish

congealed

in fear

torrential swim

flailing bruise faced winds

exhilarating 

trapped

the bird in the gilded cage

burned

take this word 
and this word

is a poem

‪the hot air‬

‪of extinction rebellion ‬

‪is in jail‬

‪so no more global warming‬

‪we are all safe forevermore ‬

the cat

in sunshine

washed in light

the snows are coming

covering the year’s scars

promising nothing 

but spring’s budding renewal 

whisper sotto voce - if

torrential rain

one plumb left on the tree

mouthwatering 

‪time to bin late ‬
‪then not bin late‬
‪but bin on time‬

abyssal pain

where the words

settle

flu jab

children get a sweet

poets lament

sundown

asleep in the garden

autumn

hi oh said joe 

storm passed

in the blink of an eye

silence 

beautiful nature 

lives by recycling death

over and over

melting ice

cat at the food dish

all eyes

creaking door

talking to the past

an old lady

autumn

the long walk into winter

collecting firewood

october 

blown in with the cat’s

bravado

‪walking past‬
‪the recycling cart‬
‪traffic jam ‬

bins day

lorry reversing time

speaking welsh

obituary

between here and here

a tightrope

autumn seeds

the bloody nasturtiums 

of summer

autumn

all is safely gathered in

drying room 

just me and the sea

the old cold grey towering sea

last tango in parlance 

topiary phoenix

extinction rebellion’s

autumn days

trees chant autumn

polished conker pews

falling light

hysterical 

swimming in a wild sea

tears of joy

seething

is believing 

in the sea

october sea

diving and resurfacing

black sunshine

shrieking

the wildness of it all

winter sea swimmer

doctors waiting room

reading a walking magazine

if only

global heating

everything and everyone

choose wisely

thinking extinction’s

arresting rebellion

we do or we die

today it is you and i 

for tomorrow’s sever comes

playtime

a child again

grandad

little child

grandfathering 

grandad

child

admonishing the dog

naughty boy

little boy

discounting 

insects legs

sticklebacks 

look bigger in my jam jar

home we go

spring door ajar

hatching an idea

frogspawn 

autumn’s door

into a secret garden

morning leaves

each and every way

a cat is made of snowflakes

blizzard befuddle

burning 

on the back burner

the earth

the clock

is afire

alarm

alas never

is too late

now

sunset

flaming june 

moon

the hermit

with no fire

burning

temple bells

are melting out 

a ring of truth

cinders

after the cremation 

of truth

poles impart

the cold facts

of fire

all are guilty

dining out on latter days

no food for thought

just me and you on the menu

so who will see the QED

steep beach

heaven of coarse sand

clear water

hubble nebulae

cream in my coffee

humble thoughts

wind chimes

how far away

from home

wind chimes

when the wind stops

remembering

summer

bandaged in autumn leaves

takes a break

deep in love

autumn seduces summer

snow queen’s kiss

leaves falling 

deep in the blue woods

must be must

maggots

stealing the hare’s breath

fly away 

fall falls

snowflakes settle

overleaf 

between sea and sky

sail-ship unzipping the bay

schoolboy pirates

winter graveyards 

snowed under

with work

outside

everyone inside 

midwinter 

the misty way

that so far beckons

now so irresistible

ice 

trapped bubbles

chilblains 

industry 

grumbling

in the night

whistling 

across the blue

snow

dusk

in flagranté delicto 

super moon 

oh no we didn’t 

but of course we did 

that summer

remembering

that time we stopped to kiss

forever

the path between

where we stopped to kiss

and where we are now

the school run

more bangs than there are car doors

car ride away
