Poem Category: All

Down … and feathered
from the parrot’s nest
our neighbour’s cat.

Licking his whiskers
touched by them …
the cat’s sardines.

Swirls of snow
the mountain road tilts
with passing cars.

Cemetery
dried wreaths becoming
the crow’s new nest.

School exams …
a bi-plane’s skywriting
out the window.

Bedside stories
the tot finding shadows
too like her dreams.

A garden shed noise
it was then I saw
the dead spider’s eyes.

Forest winds
only the painter’s easel
standing still.

Being summer
jelly-fish melting
above the tides.

Patio …
listening to the autumn
crinkle leaves.
