30th September 2007

Fiasco over,
Mountain of washing now spun,
Decorates garden.

29th September 2007

Rare ghostly presence,
Who creeps upstairs at midnight,
Neil sighs with relief.

28th September 2007

Abandoned sandals,
Speak of loss, cold, discomfort;
We walk through the rain.

27th September 2007

Mum leaning on me,
We shuffle up the high street,
At the speed of slugs.

26th September 2007

First bite of winter,
Cold wind drives hard from the north,
Siberia calls.

25th September 2007

Maggie drinks culture,
Ambassador for purple,
Inspired but limping.

24th September 2007

Abrasion of noise,
Jars against the river's calm;
Dinosaur looms near.

23rd September 2007

Chain of love extends,
Through family to Pickle,
Returned with kisses.

22nd September 2007

As keen as mustard,
Dex grabs theatre of life,
To play with actors.

21st September 2007

Three parents doting,
On one special child who wins,
Prize of happiness.

20th September 2007

As harsh words echo,
I search for moment of zen,
Breathing at station.

19th September 2007

Core identity,
Natural and colourful,
With dog and apple.

18th September 2007

Each day Pickle hopes,
To find his friend returned home,
His grief tugs my heart.

17th September 2007

Legs drag, feet leaden,
Deep shadows under my eyes,
Badge of exhaustion.

16th September 2007

The morning after,
I measure celebration,
In empty vessels.

15th September 2007

An excuse to dress,
Like fairy tale archetypes,
The bride a princess.

14th September 2007

Hot spicy women,
Discuss men and their five limbs,
Two tongues talk and laugh.

13th September 2007

Scratch beneath surface,
Of this busy, full city,
Frustration lurks near.

12th September 2007

Soaking up the sun,
In tune with moth on a leaf,
Utter contentment.

11th September 2007

I feel out of place,
In polished world of money;
Monopoly wins.

10th September 2007

Intimate exchange,
Of words heard and feelings seen,
That illuminates.

9th September 2007

Healthy, feeling loved,
Happy just to be walking,
Showing my colours.

8th September 2007

Day trip to be free,
We amble along the beach,
Flotsom and jetsom.

7th September 2007

A long farewell walk,
To our favourite marsh haunts,
With tears at the end.

6th September 2007

Amid dog circus,
Sam gives me beautiful rat,
Soft furs and dress match.

5th September 2007

A whip-cracking "Smack!"
I walk a game of roulette,
As conkers fire down.

4th September 2007

As my horse canters,
My fear beings to dissolve,
Strength and balance comes.

3rd September 2007

Plump red ripe rose hips,
Flushed with their fertility,
Echo thoughts of sex.

2nd September 2007

Restorative tea -
Too tired to move from sofa,
Indulging in calm.

1st September 2007

Hard work done back stage,
To create sensory feast,
Of succulent tastes.
