Butterfly, wings torn
Batted by splatter of rain
Spirals down with leaves.

On Autumn V
How bright dragonfly
Life sparkles in late summer
Passes too quickly

First Light (i)
In the end of night
Sun leathered magnolia leaves
Resound to beats of rain
Set grass blades to shivery dance
Cracked soil swells, fills, closes quenched
Droplets pool in hollows
Shimmering sheets cover all
Border foliage floats
On the rising flood.
.
Earthworms
Souls from the very depths
Swollen, pale pink, choked
Join the engorged slugs
Adrift.
.
Hungry
Blackbirds wake
Throw yellow beaks open
To herald the dawn

On Autumn IV
Beneath icy blue
Kaleidoscope turns to red
Forewarns of Winter.

Speak now or forever hold your peace blues II
This planet is obese
Complacent in our ways
Mankind’s behaviour
Brings on end of days
.
No moonlight now
Just artificial light
No space free
Of engined flight
.
Seas choking on floating
plastic waste
What do we sense?
What’s pure taste?
.
Perpetual growing
Air con, heating
No sign of slowing
Glaciers retreating
.
With this hot hot gas
Its unsurprising
Rivers run dry
Oceans keep rising
.
What’s been done’s done
We’re where we’re at
Time to stop expanding
Stop the world getting fat
.
Stop! Look around
Make the connection
Time to slow down
Time for less action
.
Open our mouths
Chorus together
This planet is dying
Not under the weather.
