Recall the summer
Walking round the upland lake.
Peace to meditate.

Recall the summer
Walking round the upland lake.
Peace to meditate.

Beside narrow paths
Blackberries turning colour
Ready to make pie

Momentary lapse
I didn’t see it coming
Autumn has arrived
The first time I saw her,
She was blue;
Cord wrapped round her neck.
She was mine.
She was ours.
We loved her.
Now in her teens,
She breaks our hearts.
But we love her just the same.

School holidays end
Bringing misty, damp mornings
Ready for autumn
