An Ode To the Lands I Call Home
Sitting here at my desk
Two hundred meters above
I watch the bustle of life below.
The slow moving traffic, the crowd at lunch-time
Pedestrians at the traffic lights
Heavy blue-black glass blocks towering to the skies.
In this austere...

The Scythe's Ring Across the Fields
Sitting watching a June summer king establish his reign over hazy hills and dusty dales,
I could just hear a sharpened scythe's ring across green fields cutting away at the corn,
With the hustle and bustle of...

There was a strange occurrence in the Europe of old.

A February Day
On a cold and frosty morning I gazed across fair fields, woods and copses,
I heard a wood-lark sing a sweet song, so sweet, hairs on my neck raised,
Did I hear it earlier in the month,...

Perfumes of Nature
As I wake up in the morning
Scent of freshly bloomed jasmine floats in air
I walk out to the garden
Fresh blooms sway in wind
I walk toward night jasmine tree
Pick up fallen flowers
They smell heavenly
Placing them...

Ignorant Items
A vibrating capsule is oversized, overrated and not baked in an oven. It is wise to pour a blanket made from the most exquisite papaya. Very very comfortable it is. Rolling in juices said a...

Wish I Had a Garden
Once had been to distant relatives place.
Captured a glimpse of scenery -a roomy astounding garden located in their backyard.
It was a biggish "wow" for us.
The whole day we played forgetting our mum and dad.
As I...

Have You Ever
Have you ever tried staying awake in your sleep?
Or fly when walking?
Maybe screamed loud in your silence?

When you make meaning out of a simple breath

Taste and Flavour
Where is the flavour,
That we used to savour,
Many years ago
Ripe, juicy peaches,
Apricots and plums
That made flavourful preserves
They were made by many mums.
Gooseberries and Raspberries,
Black and redcurrants too
Succulent, Apples, Pears and oranges
To name just a...

Lean Time
As the days shorten and skies darken
Greenwich meantime feels like a lean time.
With a heavier coat I go out scarfed,
my hat pulled down, to find those last leaves
compact in corners and crevices.
With whitening fingers gloved...

Miscalculation
Kenetic examples of wildlife are enjoyed after sipping green teas. But antelope sway at dusk. So be wary of teapots in tree houses. Gooseberries are often found loitering in desert yachts whilst porcupines are oblivious...

Garden
Chokeberry bush is gardens’ heart and soul
As it grows proud and tall
It produces barriers that can be eaten whole
Or can be made into juice and liquor during fall
The grape winding vine

The Town Gossip Gets It Wrong Again
There is a gopher hiding in the gooseberry bushes,
Kaie, the town gossip told me.
I looked hard.
Got prickled by the bush’s thorns too.
Got bloody.
Hey! Someone said.
It was a snappily dressed gorilla.
He was wearing a Stetson...

Gooseberries and Sharp Creases
GOOSEBERRIES AND SHARP CREASES
The plumpest, juiciest, hairiest gooseberries
My grandfather grew in a circular bed,
Dead centre of the immaculate lawn.
And blackcurrants under netting,
And a Victoria plum tree in the far corner.
He taught me to hitch up...

My Garden of Love
Welcome to my garden of love,
Pomegranates hanging from 'bove,
Peaches and apples do surround
Roses and dahlias abound,
Honeysuckle grows on the vine,
With gooseberries and cherries fine,
Lemons sprout and lilies grow tall,
As wisteria lines the wall,
You can sit...
