Born and bred in Woodley Edge
And was owner of a little business
Repurposing outdated artificial legs.
They were a family of collectors.
His brother lived in Haywards Heath
And his speciality was amassing
Pre owned sets of artificial teeth.
They were here on neutral ground
To consider a joint venture

Letting Go of Summer Ventures
Due to our country’s enforced lockdown
Work fervor has slowed down
Yet we’re cheered not to break down
As God with His mercy never shuts down.
Though we miss this year’s Summer* venture
In our tribe’s April culture midst bonding nurture
Through livestreaming, we have reunions of caring gesture
Along great cooking with creative menus’ feature.
Thankful still, we let go of graduation

L-ie.

A Townie Ventures Out
Eye strain from computer
forced me out, alone,
into the inky blackness.

A townie by birth
I felt vulnerable but
twinkling stars above me
enthralled the one-time city girl.
I walked by the loch
made invisible by night's
cloak and dagger.
Just the gentle lapping
betrayed its whereabouts.
Stags bellowed into the night air
making me look round,
just in case, of course,
ready to
