Through wind and mist
Glistening sunlight upon the dew Welcomes a winter morning Crows skawking, cawing scavenge for scraps While a murmuration of starlings Far out over sand dunes Put on a magic show for an audience of one The golden sand today Blackened from constant rainfall and stormy winds Littered with debris Washed in from sea and close […]
Reviewing the situation
The poems will get written, come sit Of course you are not disturbing me Your company is always beneficial Assists the thought process I can talk to you, Discuss the pros and cons of word formation You probably have thoughts on right from wrong The one certain is, you do understand The word “walkies” Poetry […]
So cold, so dark, stirring the air
In the comfort of his hotel room Lying off on a king size bed Listening to torrential rain Beating steadily against window pane Waves from the sea Assisted by a hawkish wind Against the headland crash The location itself is simply idyllic. He waits in hope For a weather break and a breath of balmier […]

Leaves, shivering in a watery winter sun Each minute of our lives may be our last Poems come out of wonderment Say more about life then two-way conversation Though in essence they are one and the same? Standing on a shoreline he pondered Observing as sea and sky In the way off distance worked in […]
Nature
He sat and listened as the wind blew Watched as trees danced When the wind went to sleep Trees rested In the evening light Casting off the labours of the day It is time to wave a hand at the poets chair Today’s work is done Tomorrow the erupting volcano (the mind) Will he hopes […]
Winter woes
Seeking shelter beneath a leafless tree In this thrum of incessant rain With the day becoming darker than night Feeling marooned. The sky artist painting deepening grey lines Seeking sanctuary with blurred eyes Darkness can speak strange languages He stares at nothingness, the mind blank. For some kind of comfort he spoke the words of […]
An alarming call
This he knew was going to be The most difficult poem he had ever attempted Blotting paper and pen at hand Carefully he lifted the pen, cleaned the nib Then opening the vial of ink Wrote the first words – Dear Florence. Dragging these anguished limbs From this inhospitable bed Repeating the morning vow – […]
