31st October 2008

Entering spirit,
With wild stare and morbid limp,
Tony makes kids squeal.

30th October 2008

I stitch bloody dress,
Lost in old fashioned making,
Bake sweet biscuit skulls.

29th October 2008

A space to find yin,
In a world driven by yang.
Chi needs harmony.

28th October 2008

Fellow travellers
Listen for spirit of place,
Watching river's flow.

27th October 2008

Mum and Pickle, keen
Environmental watch dogs;
I dispose of waste.

26th October 2008

Under shroud of rain,
Landscape turns grey with neglect,
As though no-one cares.

25th October 2008

Dog votes with his paws,
Hoping to find food or love,
Resting at my feet.

24th October 2008

Colour consciousness,
Care in the community,
Tea and support group.

23rd October 2008

Pilgrimage up hill,
To windswept graves of long gone,
Missing my own dead.

22nd October 2008

Hackney's poverty
Makes me feel comfortable,
Shabby but friendly.

21st October 2008

Hedgerow's progeny,
A mass of seeds and berries
For procreation.

20th October 2008

Phone is conduit
For bad then good news on house;
Property tycoon.

19th October 2008

Dex reads with feeling,
Against all expectations;
Hope for his future.

18th October 2008

Compulsive hoarding
Discussed on radio scares;
I attempt to chuck.

17th October 2008

Students examine
A private communion
With natural world.

16th October 2008

Pleasing patina
Of old floor an advantage;
The old plumbing sucks.

15th October 2008

Seeking solution,
Charlotte notes lack of support,
Lifts metatarsals.

14th October 2008

Thrills of country smells;
Squirrels carrying chestnuts
Play 'Lurkey Lurkey'.

13th October 2008

Day in Ikea,
Fantasy world of plastic,
Unreality.

12th October 2008

Choosing kitchen tiles,
Local style inspiration,
No plain white in stock.

11th October 2008

Like a Tibetan,
I garden with mindfulness,
Avoiding insects.

10th October 2008

Size eleven feet,
With playful young man inside,
On Pickle's level.

9th October 2008

Women of an age,
Flash bright white at each other,
Making images.

8th October 2008

Reprieve from greyness,
Sunshine allows us to stretch,
While our shadows grow.

7th October 2008

Mum approves of Dee,
"Earl Grey and the third programme!"
Sensitive painter.

6th October 2008

Slug rescue team acts,
Taking care of pariahs,
Relishing their slime.

5th October 2008

Sifting through papers,
I make urgent piles and lists,
Clearing mental jam.

4th October 2008

Unmanageable,
Totally overwhelming
Level of chaos.

3rd October 2008

Young and old plan fun,
Stimulation booked on line,
More music lessons.

2nd Ocober 2008

Day trip to the dump,
Mum leaves carpets from her house,
Liberating past.

1st October 2008

Men with wire move in
To our patch of urban wild;
Dogs race in circles.
