28th February 2009

Little dog climbs down,
Big human goes to rescue,
Tony hauls both out.

27th February 2009

The sun gives new warmth,
Petals and people open,
Turning to the light.

26th February 2009

Message left for me;
I hold on to three dog's leads,
Letting my breath go.

25th February 2008

Clever person lost,
Only present truth remains,
Colours in this room.

24th February 2009

My bag unravels,
Socks and jumper full of holes,
Living within means.

23rd February 2009

Worn domestic rut
Between sink and computer,
Anchored to mundane.

22nd February 2009

Moment of bonding,
Communal pause on our walk,
To share saliva.

21st February 2009

False smile on canal,
Land grabbed by developers,
Profit their idol.

20th February 2009

"Without bees, we die",
Sephie's words ring in my ears,
Our lives inter-weave.

19th February 2009

I hand over keys,
Responsibility shifts,
Giving me respite.

18th February 2009

Puppy watches birds,
While epic drama unfolds
On ground by our feet.

17th February 2009

Sliding down mud bank,
Trees festooned in bright plastic,
Alfie stuck in slime.

16th February 2009

Clues buried in bricks
Reveal mystery of damp,
Water creeps through cracks.

15th February 2009

Network of willing
Sit amongst our plant allies,
Changing each moment.

14th February 2009

Rags maintains his cool,
While Pickle is in disgrace;
I have lost my rag.

13th February 2009

Over cups of tea,
I slip into many homes
Through the radio.

12th February 2009

Snow ball hits the train,
Plans de-rail, plane re-routed,
Target missed by miles.

11th February 2009

Thrown into the pack,
Observing group dynamics,
Terrier antics.

10th February 2009

A night of letters,
Words dance with meaning on page,
Love drawn in splashed ink.

9th February 2009

First glimpse of our patch,
Quivering - cold and eager,
Baptism by rain.

8th February 2009

Last vestige of snow,
Accidental Goldsworthy
Showcases Mushroom.

7th February 2009

Shoulders clenched in grip,
Thoughts batter against my skull,
Till head falls apart.

6th February 2009

Like Indiana,
Courageous through adventures,
Sadness finds delight.

5th February 2009

Others left their tracks,
Private realm of magic light,
Monochrome stage set.

4th February 2009

Joyous in deep freeze,
Through landscape of white boulders,
One paw on the ground.

3rd February 2009

From ice to water,
Snow changes form and texture,
Remembers each foot.

2nd February 2009

Roads silent, kids out,
Spontaneous carnival,
Eyes gleam, noses glow.

1st February 2009

Squealing, excited,
Moving through vortex of snow,
Nature brings wonder.
