even when we lose

On Playing iii

Disregard of fears

leads you to discovery

of hidden talents

p.s. Play safe, or try stuff out for fun? What have you got to lose by trying? It’s only a game after all. It will be your turn to start next. ‘Mugs away’ as the saying goes.

In a second hand book,

bought on a whim,

I discovered someone

had kept a four-leaf clover

between pages

of Seamus Heaney’s poems.

Like owls, we start night

Without wait for loss of light

Love bites into day
