Paddling

Rainbow light crackles
Like skeins of fishing net, tangled,
Pulsing round my toes.

The Heart of it

Find the child within,
Never let that go.
Happiness lies at the heart.

Lost

Rabbit hole or looking glass?
It's a mystery
Where I might find me.

Weeping Willows

Willows bend weeping
Caressed by water.
The ducks are squabbling again.

Royal Flush

Royal flush?
Menopausal queen:
Heat haze under Barbour tweed.

Love me

Love me openly
Without agenda
My heart is already yours

Raindrops

Raindrop glockenspiel
Resounding tin, glass, gutter,
Lull me into dreams

Roar

Skip fights digger:
Pre-historic roar
Echoes across the valley

Dragonfly

Dragonfly dive bombs.
A war on smaller species;
Damsel in distress.

Suitcase

Homecoming heartache.
Sand in the suitcase
Make memories last longer.

In the Bay

Boat, engine idling,
Stroked by the ocean,
Purrs like a cat in the sun.

Highland

Heather horizons.
Springy peat beneath my feet,
Lapwings in the sky

Curlew

Goose stepping curlew
Hunting on the shore,
Move on, probe, drill, tug of war.

Lighthouse

Lighthouse horizon:
Blink, blank, blink-blink, blank,
Revealing crested phantoms

Tideline

Wsch school breathing in,
Shusch schww breathing out.
Shells tumbling in the tide.

Patchwork

Drystone wall stitches
Patchwork Countryside'
Fields of lilac green and gold.

Summer time

Floating thistledown,
Dandelion clocks
Marking secret summer time.

Tumble

Washing machine clothes
Tumble together
So over familiar

Wind Chime

Summer's lazy days.
A song, gently on the breeze;
Wind chime lullaby.

Petrichor

Summer thunderstorms:
Petrichor perfume
Electrifies the senses.

Bumble Bees

Dizzy bumble bees
Dancing your quadrille,
Bring in your golden harvest.

Nightlight

Moon's steady nightlight
Guides us to the dawn.
Promise of new beginnings

Evening

Pink ribboned evening.
Crows Bicker their last and hush.
Moon takes centre stage.
