Month: February 2024

My brothers birthday,
was yesterday, I forgot,
like I do each year.

A misty morning,
but the sun came shining through,
cool and fresh looking.

I called the doctor,
that told me come straight away,
an excuse for work.

I breathed in and out,
and they found a little wease,
and gave pills for that.

There’s noises outside,
and voices telling tall tales,
and shortly move on.

It’s raining today,
the sound of tyres on wet roads,
and drips from the trees.

Colds are spread around,
and I am caught in its grasp,
and left struggling.

Tissues, messy rags,
are disposed of, and quickly,
and keeping all clear.

A cup of tea waits,
silent and steaming, angry?
I will cool it down.

Biscuits are ready,
and dippy time’s beginning,
and the tea’s happy.

Here I am at work,
sitting in semi darkness,
and glow of the screen.

Many things to do,
and then many distractions,
are you one of them?

The water ran down,
he let it wash over him,
and felt its soothing.

Washing away stress,
along with shampoo bubbles,
so satisfying.

I woke up early,
and it was wet and raining,
but that soon cleared up.

Some places to be,
and they fit the one, two, three;
tennis, dance and shop.

The day was a blur,
I saw it for a moment,
but then it was gone.

Preparation’s key,
to finish those things when due,
with time to amend.

Could be Donna’s day,
though the thought of her is fun,
It was long ago.

The sun silent slide,
down between the orange clouds,
to light somewhere else.
