A Much Better Thought
This morning, into my backyard to visit her grave.
As I stood over it, thoughts came to mind of her alive.
Next thoughts came of her buried down below.
I could stay no longer.
Tears were coming again.
So I left. Remembering her alive.
A much better thought.

Quite hard this one!
Autumn Rain
Vertical, or horizontal, autumn rain falls from heavy misty clouds,
but when caught by a sunbeam it makes glistening slides
shimmering across grey rocks as it falls
in bright white tails or snakes
like silver
where
our worn mountains leak it.

Turns out it’s hard to use “the” or “and” but it’s not impossible!

Oranges
On sunny days these
Round , colourful characters
Appeal to a young un’s senses
Note sprays of zest as fingernails
Grip tightly around the peel
Expect numbers of drips around the fingers as
She catches them falling

Here’s mine:
Visibility
In twilight
a seagull takes
flight, ‘gainst
streak of rosy
pink sky. Soon
sky shades close.
Only visible are
silver glittering
stars under light
of a full moon.
