Patio Poetry
sitting in warm sunshine watching the rich autumn colours on the virginia creeper there’s a bit of a breeze and suddenly the wind blows a few leaves onto the ground Incredulously I look at them the sun is so lovely and warm on my head it can’t be autumn yet. © […]
windowseat thoughts
the sun drew her there
to sit
in the window
and soak up the brightness
and watch
she saw the bare trees
watched birds flying past

friendships
I was going to write a poem to put my tears into words crying over the spilled milk of a friendship that seems to have evaporated or something but maybe better to enjoy the ones that are. II spilled milk is cleanupable the hard thing is when you keep wondering if it is or isn’t […]
