30th September 2007

Fiasco over,
Mountain of washing now spun,
Decorates garden.

29th September 2007

Rare ghostly presence,
Who creeps upstairs at midnight,
Neil sighs with relief.

28th September 2007

Abandoned sandals,
Speak of loss, cold, discomfort;
We walk through the rain.

27th September 2007

Mum leaning on me,
We shuffle up the high street,
At the speed of slugs.

26th September 2007

First bite of winter,
Cold wind drives hard from the north,
Siberia calls.

25th September 2007

Maggie drinks culture,
Ambassador for purple,
Inspired but limping.

24th September 2007

Abrasion of noise,
Jars against the river's calm;
Dinosaur looms near.

23rd September 2007

Chain of love extends,
Through family to Pickle,
Returned with kisses.

22nd September 2007

As keen as mustard,
Dex grabs theatre of life,
To play with actors.

21st September 2007

Three parents doting,
On one special child who wins,
Prize of happiness.

20th September 2007

As harsh words echo,
I search for moment of zen,
Breathing at station.

19th September 2007

Core identity,
Natural and colourful,
With dog and apple.

18th September 2007

Each day Pickle hopes,
To find his friend returned home,
His grief tugs my heart.

17th September 2007

Legs drag, feet leaden,
Deep shadows under my eyes,
Badge of exhaustion.
