on light

shutter rolls away
sweep of sunshine brings colour
hornet hunts nectar

n.b. Can you see it? A fortuitous photo-bombing.

on time

one of those long nights
eagle owl drifts through city
alarm brings respite

n.b. At last, the blessed relief of the Angelus bell.

Friday, what the F
break open the bub-ber-ley
birthday train ride

n.b. Not mine. Happy Birthday, mush. “Twenty past Ten; get the Scooby Snacks owat!”

n.n.b. “Owat” translates to ‘out’ further south in England.

on light

I rose to meet her
she winked at me through thin trees
lost her by sunrise

~

n.b. The full, silver moon led me across town before slipping away – a merry, chilly dance!

on dawn

yes, we can do this
your way, my way or our way
meet me at day break

on light

tune into new day
Sun tweaks its colour settings
birdsong audible

~

n.b. Without the dampening affect of full foliage the morning is a pretty noisy time of day, particularly now that there is no lockdown in England and traffic on the bypass and into the city centre is increasingly heavy.

on morning

colour brings out shape
shape becomes solidity
scene set for day's play

on waking

another morning
not enough hours to enjoy
all I've been blessed with

~

n.b. Starting with a heartbeat.

In fond memory of Moira.

uneasy waking
day stumbles out of duvet
cold shower beckons

digger blues

big yellow machine
with extendable arm
big yellow machine
with extendable arm
caterpillar tracks
audible reverse alarm
big yellow machine
doing valuable work
big yellow machine
doing valuable work
digging up concrete
levelling off all the dirt
big yellow machine
starts at eight o'clock
big yellow machine
starts at eight o'clock
outside my window
noisier than morning birdsong

~

n.b. It was a late finish last night, the prompt arrival of the digger this morning is some kind of payback. I must have done something slightly naughty in a previous life.
