14th August 2009

Trying to find calm,
Human whirlwind intervenes;
Term starts on Monday.

13th August 2009

Mum exerts her own
Centrifugal force, which spins
Me busy round her.

12th August 2009

Disgraced then winning,
Teen game of snakes and ladders
Leaves us exhausted.

11th August 2009

Retreat to garden,
Fox stares as I dig the soil
Shrouded in vine leaves.

10th August 2009

Paperwork calling,
Tasks in the house scream at me;
I'll start tomorrow.

9th August 2009

Rolling with punches,
Wrestling with life's chaos,
Bell rings for time out.

8th August 2009

Claiming the moment,
Caught at it by road sweeper,
My feet leave the ground.

7th August 2009

Nurse Mary in charge,
Gigi home her little girl,
No chance of puppies.

6th August 2009

Lured by the bottle,
Sweet brew mires flies, wasps and boys,
Descent into hell.

5th August 2009

Three females, one bitch,
Three turn noses up at treats,
One licking her lips.

4th August 2009

City of mid tones,
Where grey of sky spreads downwards,
Rebel yellow grows.

3rd August 2009

With time to reflect,
Life going into reverse,
Creative thinking.

2nd August 2009

Last night butterfly,
This morning quivering moth,
Tired wings seeking rest.

1st August 2009

Big shout out to Rob,
Spinning vinyl for fifty,
Behaving twenty.
