Political Parry

Referendums, bombs;
its all too political.
Where is the escape?

Hate is breeding hate.
A spreading virus
With no inoculation.

Find a band-aid big enough
before it's too late:
Embrace all cultures.

Find the common ground,
Buried among all the lies:
A kernel of peace.

Love your brothers near and far,
Laugh with your sisters;
We are all alike.

Our time is short here
But what we leave behind us
Is our legacy.

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle scent
Trapped in woodland glade.
Oh, to be a honey bee!

Bookshelf Brotherhood

Books along the shelf,
Back to back they stand.
All for one and one for all.

Happiness

Roll me in mud or
Roll me in clover
The feeling is just the same.

Referendum

All change. Mind the gap.
A perilous leap of faith
Reveals new challenge.

Close

Emotional day
Is it the humidity?
Relief in cloud burst.

Earn Your Place

Where do you belong?
Have you earned your place
As part of the human race?

Getting Busy

Birds and bees do it.
And all of the Ugly bugs
So sing hey nonny nonny!







(There's a lot goes on a peony leaf!)

Am Dram

Confidence exudes
As the play begins.
Thespians command the hour.

History Lesson

History repeats.
The facts are made clear:
You must learn from your mistakes.

Clearance

Cathartic clearance:
Rubbish removal
Making a new space to breathe.

Pollen

The pollen count's high
Dusting the meadow
In plumes of drifting yellow

Donner und Blitzen

Resounding rumble
Electric yellow sky-flash
Summer storms arrive.
