Poems this week

Soft words, gentle touch,

oxytocin highs make bub 

and safely birth bub

 

Hotel Rwanda

Harrowing true genocide

and deep, selfless love

 

Far away bike zooms,

distant dog barks, birds chirp.

Peaceful dawn soundtrack.

Icey drink, luxe mag

Sweet, crunchy almond shortbread

makes shopping worth it.

Waiting for baby, 

perfect birthing time will come.

Sure as the sunrise.

Church meets again

but no singing in this plague.

Ramsgate foodies gig

Movie, music, laughs, pizza

Best family day

Poem 46

Jim was a Facebook friend of mine, a gracious, loyal, good man, uncomplaining in the face of terrible illness and I think loneliness.

He passed suddenly today, far too young but having had a very hard life. May he have a beautiful eternity.

Poem 45

Threats all around him

paralysing fear controls

life's trajectory.

Anxious man tells tales

Imagined fires burn

Run to hose them down

Cake day before lent

Too many past feasts linger 

so I'll have salad

No words or actions

offend my sweet, loving dog.

Precious valentine

Jesus walked and talked

See a body, face, clothes, hair

much more is unseen

Like a dry brown leaf

hairy, long legs scurry past.

Arachnid hunter.

Hot then cold then hot

long night turns to gentle dawn

sleep will have to wait

Let us wake the sun

with extravagant praise of 

transcendent beauty.

A book received

loving token of support

artistic model

i direct my own care

Blurred eyes, stiff neck,

instant coffee in my mug.
