Happiness begins, 

with hope, at the new year’s start, 

Twenty Twenty-one. 

— 2nd January, 2021

A device speaking

Loud in every single room

The cat cries outside.

— 25th January, 2021

Lightning strikes and darts

down, from the sky to the earth

Whoa! Did you see that?

Night is short and hot,

While the Day lasts forever,

Year’s middle is here. 

— 22nd June, 2020

Time to stop and think,

Make the world a better place. 

Peaceful. Raindrops fall. 

— 5th June, 2020

Rain is never old,

It falls as if from peep holes.

Open-eyed they watch.

Sometimes I forget

to notice the cloud, hanging, 

Like a great, grey blind.

 People need much more

managing when they don’t meet

Daily, in the world.

Minds are changing fast,

We have an opposition! 

Here at last! Hear. Hear!

My son does not read. 

Apart from web sites and games. 

The world marches on. 

— 11th May, 2020

Today I have reached,  

the postmodern tip of peak 

incredulity! 

— 10th May, 2020

Cleaning. Quantities

of time do not make it fun. 

Sunshine beckons me. 

— 10th May, 2020

Morning ritual:

Telling dreams and recording.

Discussions follow. 

— 9th May, 2020

Day, completely still.

Will nothing break the silence? 

Listen! Bees buzzing.
