Petrified












Jitter above the ocean surf
Coming in to land
Turnstones petrify.

Eider down

Band of Guillemots
Rolls with the tide sway
Hunkered down in Eider ducks.

Dunes

Shelter in the dunes
Hiding from the wind
In spiky marram grass tufts.

Couched Potatoes

Among the boulders
Seals lounge like couched potatoes
Washed up on the shore.

Fallen angel

A fallen angel
Tumbled in transgressions
Beats her wings on earth.

Praise him

S'allah! Sing your joy!
Praise God for the day
So wondrous to behold.

Calligraphy

Scribbles in the sand
Crustacean calligraphy
Scrawled in tidal sands

Somnum

Six hours together!
Precious gift, unbroken sleep.
Rise refreshed, revived.

York

Hem of roman walls
Hold fast York, medieval town,
Capitol of old.

Steel winged scavengers

Steel winged scavengers
Lit silver in late sunshine,
Follow the furrow.

Witch

One green eye one blue,
Read my palms anew,
Tell futures I cannot see.

Drake and Duck-chess

Drake follows duck-chess:
"My Love,Wife of one season,
Love me in reed beds."

Daffodils

Daffodil ribbons
March along the road in frills
Showing us the way.
