Love Thy Neighbour
My neighbour out searching for conkers
Is blessed with incredible honkers
But when she bends down
All the housewives frown
Where to look drives their husband bonkers!...

Blowing, slithering, captivating
Glorious, golden

A Nostalgia Tanka
Spring is cricket on the green
Summer is picnics in the park
Autumn is conkers from the crescent
And in Winter slides on ice
across the schoolyard
After Eihei Dogen (1200-1253)...

Forties Child
Freezing slides on sheets of ice
Balaclavsa snug;
Finger mitts,snow-balling bold,
Playtime in the cold.
Satchels,desks with lift-up lids,
Pen nibs and inkwells;
Five-stones,conkers in the yard,
Before the lesson bell...

Mid Week Memory
CHILDHOOD GAMES
bouncing a ball against a wall
conkers bashed as Autumn falls
the swish of a skipping rope
hop skotch chalked in the dry
nearby swings swung high
five-stones on a roll
tin-can tommy in fading light
pooh stick streams
homespun childhood - a delight...

Sounds From Childhood Past
a bouncing ball against a wall
conkers bashed as Autumn falls
the swish of a skipping rope:
milk bottles clinking in a crate
grate of chalk upon the slate
the tinkle of five-stones on a roll:
rattle of the tin-can tommy
rasping squeak of a swing
the bus stop bell request ring:
voices chanting time-tables
snap of a teacher cane
the double hoot of the fast steam train:...
