Breathe ~ Relax ~ Drink Black Tea Often
A cat with a thirst
A cat seeking novelty
Demands rewarded
The making of cake
is only trumped and beaten
by its consumption
Suburban duck pond
Waking before the neighbours
Ready for close-ups
On a foggy day
everything is softer
even in its’ grief
Trampoline spider
Testing its’ night’s handiwork
Fog’s droplets straining
The path less travelled
remains so for a reason
Dragons breathing fog
Darling buds of Spring
Beauty hidden with beauty
Bursting impatience
Unfolding tendrils
and early morning shiver
Warming to a stretch
A foggy Spring dawn
The sun opaque and rising
Mystery steaming
Choosing the right one
among unequal equals
Intersection blues
You can never eat
one single lonely cupcake
You can always try
A sheen of water
creates reflected portraits
Still lives moving on
A raindropped beetle
living on the leafy edge
Soggy getaway
The busiest bugs
on the prettiest flowers
Workplace relations
Half-century hand
Carrying the memories
of other hands’ lives
Flowers and raindrops
together after showers
A more perfect match?
Hardly there to see
dozens of tiny black fish
Making their presence
Ducks and pea-hen swim
in a pond big enough for
their circuit training
Ibis at the pond
Its slow deliberate steps
Reflection wobbles
A curling cloud waves
whispers into daily blue
Disappearing
The textures of bark
each layer groovier, thick
Thinning from beneath
Lavender leaning
as I brush past and breathe in
Leaning on the scent
A tiny sun porch
Everything you need for
a sunny day’s fun
Wild flower surprise
decorating the front gate
Stemming the petals
Sun rayed yellow rose
Raising its perfect petals
Enjoying the view
My black and white cat
Half hidden in the doorway
Perfect symmetry
Beady little drops
asking for nothing more than
a place to reflect
The whitest flower
blooming from its greening stem
Shady garden soil
Softer pink petals
in a ferny garden green
A mistake well made
Caught in twiggy clasp
on a windy season’s day
Adventurous seed
