Oak leaves and ribbons,
Welcomed in by bride and groom,
Love sprinkled around.

30th May 2008

Before guests arrive,
We dress set for their entrance;
Props for the stage hands.

In monsoon downpour,
market takes me round the globe,
'Roots' sounds and salt fish.

28th May 2008

Giving perspective,
On Sarah Party trifles,
Homeless enterprise.

27th May 2008

A moving landscape,
Baskets and piles of stuff shift,
History unearthed.

26th May 2008

Long frequent flyer,
Takes first solo train journey,
Heading to adult.

25th May 2008

Our new-seeded lawn,
From a bird-brained perspective,
Looks like restaurant.

24th May 2008

A cup full of grief,
No choice, but bear what life throws,
Holding each small joy.

23rd May 2008

Elegant grey friends,
Distract me from my blue mood,
Talk in neutral tones.

22nd May 2008

Beetle dazzles me,
"Homeless" woodlouse worries Mum;
Both just ignore us.

21st May 2008

Shopping for top soil;
Next on infinite wish list,
To create order.

20th May 2008

Others locked in stress;
My stomach feels injustice,
Seeing the world's plight.

19th May 2008

Local activist,
Networking like Linda Snell,
I find park matters.

18th May 2008

We stop for a rest.
The air is thick with bird song,
And factory bread.
