Well, that was Friday,
it sunk in mugs of coffee,
and never came up.
My book’s shaping up,
and it is getting leaner,
as I edit it.
The robin still sings,
in the snow and misty days,
such a welcome sight.
I am now planning,
for this year ahead of me,
with changes to come.
Category: Just for the moment
16-12-22 Cold Reality
The sun is diffused,
but so bright and elegant,
I just had to stop.
I was out tonight,
just feeling the icy fog,
and the way it hangs.
I can not escape,
the urgent need to succeed,
and get something done.
15-12-22 Foggy Moon
Fog came rolling in,
and was caught in the valley,
hiding the houses.
The cold distant moon,
stands so far away from me,
and still taunting me.
I am writing on,
despite pencils out of ink,
and the tap running.
14-12-22 Guitar sips
The guitar can sing,
simply by tickling its strings,
or by strumming it.
Hanging from cold feet,
the icicle’s holding on,
and drips a little.
Sipping my Lemsip,
and I’m enjoying its warmth,
just before bedtime.
13-12-22 Coffee Time
The older I get,
the more I understand why,
morning roosters scream.
The time is flying,
I have seen it pass my house,
a few times today.
Another coffee,
sits beside me and waiting,
to cool a little.
12-12-22 Snow has arrived
The snow has arrived,
and it is looking so cool,
whilst fresh and untouched.
A crisp white carpet,
covers everything it can,
and brings quietness.
The joy of writing,
is a summer stream flowing,
and so refreshing.
11-12-22 Unseen Robin
A frosty morning,
greets us once again I see,
as I wrap up warm.
The robin pops up,
on the frost covered branches,
just to say hello.
I am relaxing,
in away, doing nothing,
busy serving up.
10-12-22 Go Go England
It was go, go go,
go here, go there, go somewhere,
and then back again.
The forecast are bad,
for travel today they say,
but the roads were clear.
It’s good to relax,
with chill out and watch tele,
and a football match.
09-12-22 A Cafe Scene
Paris cafe scene,
I hope so and I like it.
Vous voulez? Il dit.
Scrapping the frost off,
the car windscreen and windows,
wiping the mirrors.
It’s hard to keep up,
with the plans that I have made,
with no life factors.
08-12-22 Thursday for sure
So much to do now,
and one by one, they are done,
with a good firm tick.
I can see the world,
in my coffee everyday;
memories and plans.
Cheese on toast tonight,
simple but tasty and hot,
just what I need now.
It was wash down well,
with a hot mug of black tea;
that will do for me.
