If you keep moving
You can stay out in the cold
Indefinitely
3rd November 2020
autumn
2nd November 2020
Float away downstream
Carried in gentle currents
My eyelids closing
1st November 2020
Darkened tributaries
Glimmer, glisten in gold leaf
Desperately clinging
20th October 2020
A grey squirrel leaps
Coneys scurry to their holes
As a breeze picks up
15th October 2020
My autumn son shines
Overflows with hope and joy
These days are too short
12th October 2020
Why do I look for
External validation
In the wrong places?
5th October 2020
Bright leaves caught alight
By autumn’s flickering flames
How quickly they fade
31st August 2020
As a new leaf turns
My year to obscurity
Together we’ll fade
27th November 2019
Damp drab dreary days
Scuffling through rusty leaves
Searching for wild life
14th November 2019
Wind strips branches bare
Waiting for my time to come
Only five leaves left
