31st January 2009

Parchment meringue nest,
Perfect made by clever wasps,
Removed from cobwebs.

30th January 2009

Spontaneous gift,
Circumnabulating marsh,
The universe speaks.

29th January 2009

Exploring limits,
Gigi stretches out into
New relationship.

28th January 2009

Perambulation,
Exercise as medicine,
Mum does time in park.

27th January 2009

First surge toward spring
Sends me burrowing in shed
For a ruthless cull.

26th January 2009

Reclaimed land returns,
Gulls take flight, we play hopscotch,
Picking through the swamp.

25th January 2009

Windows steamed by breath,
The rainy season outside,
Bus shuffles along.

24th January 2008

Forbearance required;
Cleaning, clearing and caring,
In constant motion.

23rd January 2009

Just us in the rain,
Trudging cold through elements,
Pair of crazy fools.

22nd January 2009

Mining for beauty,
Scanning puddles and pavement,
Looking for portals.

21st January 2009

Space framed for football;
Our game's rules are 'chase' and 'cheese',
Halthy fun the goal.

20th January 2009

A new rhetoric,
Balls scatter, hearts dare to hope,
Non-believers cheer.

19th January 2009

Tide of age rises,
Mum caught by community,
Holes in safety net.

18th January 2009

An auspicious sign,
Found in the dirty dishes,
Makes us feel special.

17th January 2009

Outside, looking in
On visionary landscapes
Others inhabit.

16th January 2009

Motivation gone,
I drift along pale and weak,
A ghost of myself.

15th January 2009

My day seems hollow
Without the business of food;
I lie down, queasy.

14th January 2009

Attention seekers
Enjoy mutual reward
From each other's gaze.

13th January 2009

More choice, time wasted,
Utilities make me wait,
Press one for boredom.

12th January 2009

Artists bear witness
To art of transformation,
In touch with the wild.

11th January 2009

The Archers twitter,
Birds wait for seed, Tony plays,
Freedom of Sunday.

10th January 2009

Crossing the channel,
Chez Glyn and Aude liquids flow,
Imbibe and admire.

9th January 2009

Lost in his own realm,
Alfie tracks each smell's journey,
Challenging my lead.

8th January 2009

Becoming more frail,
Mum slowly disappears from
World I inhabit.

7th January 2009

Someone else in chair;
Day stolen by my charges,
Longing to sit down.

6th January 2009

Food the conduit
Between our generations;
Now, I cook for Mum.

5th January 2009

Harsh reality,
Huge fossils show overbite,
Like jaw of a sheep.

4th January 2009

End of holidays,
Social whirl finally stops,
Teenager needs sleep.

3rd January 2009

In my neighbourhood,
Aiming for "honest photos"
With travelling eye.

2nd January 2009

The marsh to ourselves,
Sky lifts, opening up space,
We walk in silence.

1st January 2009

Exquisite white tea,
In house made of gingerbread,
Where dreams might come true.
