30th November 2008

Smooth running of life
Now brought to tangled standstill,
Flow interrupted.

29th October 2008

Dressed in Barbie pink,
Little girls stare as they pass,
Their mothers in black.

28th November 2008

I feel bleak in damp;
Pickle hurtles after stick,
Undaunted by mud.

27th November 2008

Rich food tradition
Of peacan pie and egg nog,
Fill with gratitude.

26th November 2008

Metal trees drop leaves,
One trunk felled, roots sticking up,
Gap left in skyline.

25th November 2008

Simple devotion,
Mutual need to be loved,
Makes husband jealous.

24th November 2008

Alone in forest,
My archetypal journey
Through trial renews.

23rd November 2008

Stepping out in rain
To blow cobwebs from my head,
Sky breaks into blue.

22nd November 2008

Plaiting husband's hair,
Prelude to his boy's night out,
I miss him at once.

21st November 2008

Tony sees things wide,
Two different perspectives;
My focus close-to.

20th November 2008

My eye on the square,
Ear open in the town hall,
Finding voice of park.

19th November 2008

My inner devil,
Finds ways to distract me from
My higher purpose.

18th November 2008

At home on marshes,
Meeting place for eccentrics,
Man strides with a lamp.

17th November 2008

Following his steps,
I walk with my father's ghost,
Seeing him in me.

16th November 2008

Pushing bike in rain,
Kate listens while I spout forth
Marsh philosophy.

15th November 2008

Working the night shift,
Keeping my limbs in motion,
Bee spins to excite.

14th November 2008

Nick encourages:
"If you are given lemons,
Then make lemonade".

13th November 2008

Global recession
Means we eat more dahl and rice,
Great food of the poor.

12th November 2008

For a special treat,
We eat nuts on 'Sarah's bench,
Soaking up the view.

11th November 2008

Juggling the needs
Of mother, wife, work and dog,
Complex logistics.

10th November 2008

My thoughts waterlogged,
Wetness penetrates each step,
Drops join to make pools.

9th November 2008

Nature's artistry
Makes changes in form and hue;
Each leaf is unique.

8th November 2008

Stretching out my mind,
Last chance between rain and dark,
To walk with my friend.

7th November 2008

Shimmering metal,
All that Sam touches turns gold,
Creative sparkle.

6th November 2008

Leaving holes in lives,
Jean moves into history,
Not 'is' but now 'was'.

5th November 2008

Hero Obama,
Takes America by storm,
Saves world from gutter.

4th November 2008

Man wired for action,
At unusual leisure,
Sharing my slow time.

3rd November 2008

Winter creeping in,
Steals light from the sky, making
Everything dull.

2nd November 2008

Sheer desperation
Of homeless man in the park,
Makes me feel lucky.

1st November 2008

Exquisite relics,
Tonight alive with voices,
To honour the dead.
