Green

Spring

Greenness of  frilly  lettuce
by the garden bench. Picked it, well you would.
 But now the garden is brown again.

after quite a while I have decided to revive this blog, and have another one for y City Lit Fine Art course. Too long too quiet!

Straw hat on top of my bookshelf.
no,not straw. That's what donkeys wear in Spain
ears stuck through.  It's plaited Panama, though not, I think
superfino. It kept the sun off his head, until September
when he no longer needed it.

Queen Anne's Lace

Starbursts of dry flower heads
firework from the glass, such
casual elegance.

Found: a silver Christmas tree bauble lying in the grass
reflecting an arc of joined branches
and another sky.

Ain't ya got no rhymes for me?



Today the interviewer says, "You're bright and creative, did you not want
A different career?"
I am nonplussed. What other life
Than my life? It would be another life.

And I walk down Kingsway, and think, but my life, my loves,
my voice,
Here in the sound of my footsteps and softness of my gloves.
