Stillness of the night,
It made me stop and listen,
To some distant sound.
Out in the darkness,
A familiar sound came,
Like wind through the trees.

I guess its about me and what I am thinking
Tues 28/04/20
A wet day outside,
And I wanted to go out,
And feel its wetness.
Feel the wind blowing,
And the drops of rain falling,
And make me feel cold.
I lost it again,
All I didn’t really have,
And now it is gone.
The coffee half drunk,
Still at the edge of the stool.
Warm and welcoming.
Mon 27/04/20 Corona Virus
Corona Virus,
Go now, disappear, be gone,
And let us be free.
The things we all miss,
Like walks outside, and travel,
Or chatting with friends.
Thank you, health workers,
For all you’ve done and still do,
God bless and keep you.

I’m looking for them,
Those few words that run away,
Somewhere last weekend.
“What’s your point?”, I ask.
Staring at the pencil hard,
2B, maybe not.
I draw a thick line,
And to me that is 2B,
And then I smudge it.
Sat 25/04/20 I am Just Waiting
I am just waiting,
For fortune to shine on me,
And rest in its glow.
I am just waiting,
For my dream job to come home,
I’ll write and travel.
I am just waiting,
For the pennies all to roll,
In unending streams.
Sat 25/04/20 Spring Thoughts
Spring and freshly green,
Frequently and breeze kissed seen,
Leaves verdant imprints.
Blue as the clear sky,
Pale by the suns brilliance,
The playground of clouds.
Sat 25/04/20 Cockney Slang Numbers
This number is ‘lost‘,
This number’s lost it ‘bottle‘,
And this one’s ‘holy‘.
This number will ‘stand‘,
This number holds all the ‘jacks‘,
And this will ‘fiddle‘.
This is ‘Exeter‘,
This number’s in your ‘garden‘,
This one’s black as ‘coal‘.
The last one is ‘cock‘,
In Cockney slang for numbers,
In R J Clarke’s book.
Mon 20/04/20 A Dream in a Rain Storm
This rain was falling,
The sound of it hitting the roof,
Woke me up from sleep.
In the darkness though,
The falling rain seemed to glow,
Capturing each drop.
It held my gaze there,
For a while, I couldn’t leave,
Or, go back to bed.
To sleep I did though,
Mesmerised by the rhythms,
And the rains’ patterns.
Thurs 27/02/20
I’m counting pennies,
Standing in the pouring rain,
One, two, three and more.
I’m travelling now,
To somewhere and then come back,
The journey’s the fun.
I’m making mistakes,
And they’re easier to do,
Then getting it right.
Paddle in puddles,
Feel that wet coldness get you,
Oh, clinging to you.

I forgot Wednesday,
And Wednesday forgot me,
The trouble I make.
Can I make it up,
Does Wednesday like flowers?
Daffodils perhaps!
