For they knew too well I was never shrewd.

Off I went, p...

Grandstanding

...
with dusk approaching
the radiance of the day
melts in the rain

streetlights smear
the autumn colours
across the footpaths

doubling the display
of chromatic foliage
autumn gloats

The Plight of My City

...In the city's streets

Parkings sprawled into 
The hearts of the roads.
E- rickshaw halt
Blocking the p...

rendezvous, hardly breathing.

Footpaths are tiled in the wet,
skeletal remains of leaves 
and tree tru...

Face in the Crowd

To see me, and as the joy
Of a lifetime of love cascaded
Through my being I wanted to shout:

Ever opening to amber sunshine, as petals open, when vivid beams pour.

Functionality and beauty were very vital, s...

I often go for walks down nature paths,
& today I stroll through a broken gate;
love the twisting way & tangled footpaths,

...I stood on the tip of the top of the cliff and looked down,
Though valleys seemed colorful, scenes deep down were grey and brown;
A few freshwater streams were springing from filmy fountains,

Grandfather Tree

...I was walking down the neighbourhood,
reminiscing how it all
used to be where we made believe
