28th February 2007

Sun cracks leaden sky,
I soak in moment of light,
Rain damps my spirit.

27th February 2007

Pants off, knees apart,
Routine gynaecology,
A small sticky scrape.

26th February 2007

Strategy for health -
Do all the things that I love:
Walk, make, read, eat, dance.

25th February 2007

Stories cross flight paths,
Ideas travel with friends;
We listen and ride.

24th February 2007

Recouperation
Requires some relaxation -
Fall into deep snooze.

23rd February 2007

Not feeling myself,
Face swollen with infection,
Fitness disappeared.

22nd February 2007

Neil's own pantomime,
Showing nightly in kitchen,
Over fine chopped veg.

21st February 2007

Fellow traveller,
Exposed in a red mantle,
Please handle with care.

20th February 2007

Mysterious pain
Saws under my teeth and jaw,
Rendering me dumb.

19th February 2007

Feeling envious
Of dog's simple emotions,
Directly expressed.

18th February 2007

Flushing out the grey,
That has seeped into my head,
Dancing brings colour.

17th February 2007

Insect friend returns,
Woken by the early sun,
To share my view point.

16th February 2007

Refusing to wait,
The backlog of household tasks;
When done clear my head.

15th February 2007

Limbs heavy with flu,
Fluids gurgle through my pipes
Like faulty plumbing.

14th February 2007

No need for roses;
We dance with one another,
Rub noses in bed.

13th February 2007

Hoping to find car,
Small piece of airport jigsaw,
Unscheduled delays.

12th February 2007

Young man finds his way,
His blithe spirit unrepressed;
Uncertain future.

11th February 2007

Bath conversation,
For intimate reflections:
Husband and wife talk.

10th February 2007

Foraging for food,
Fulfills maternal role as
Hunter gatherer.

9th February 2007

Interactive boy,
Who's 'cool with the funky stuff',
Fills me with delight.

8th February 2007

Snow turns upside down -
White ground, dark sky, cream dog,
World made playful new.

7th February 2007

With frosted coating,
Delicate feelings hardened,
Locked in tight muscles.

6th February 2007

My day is parcelled,
Rhythm set by body clock,
Meals in tupperware.

5th February 2007

Spoonful of porridge -
Sucking its comforting warmth,
I squeeze each mouthful.

4th February 2007

Plastic bags blossom,
Large pink seed-bringer feeds flock,
Garden protector.

3rd February 2007

Beings from same tribe,
Walk together past a tree,
Full of squawking crows.

2nd February 2007

Birds, and my senses
Are singing that spring is here,
My cells are jumping.

1st February 2007

Accosted near shops,
"Give me money for a drink",
Harsh street vibration.
