To start again a life rotation
Cycles of learning and doing
The point of it all
To find a truer vocation
How important the location
Easy to say
Overlooking the sea
Taking leave, on vacation
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

Framed
Drawn in by a picture of you
Vermillion skies rage for two
Elemental minds seep on through
Drawn in by that picture of you
Dawn of night, it's twilight's clue
Evening primrose turned on two
Sedimental sighs weep askew
Dawn of night with silent dues

Bearing Gifts
Only me, the view and the squirrel
To think of you on your free day
How far from freedom will you be?
Caught up, in others negligence

Leaf by Name
In those branches I see my name
Those very same initials
As on the schoolboys satchel
That only-one nomenclature
With which I sought out fame
Famous as a bright spark
Famous as a talented kid
Famous as a footballer
Who could hit the dustbin lid
Years have moved one
The breeze still waves the trees
As it did down by the stream
Trout tickled quiet under water
Grass marks on my knees

Diss
This stretch of anathema
Is as long, and as wide
As the boulevards of grace
It is an indirect virtue
Short on waste
I imagine it takes its queue
From my minds
Occasional sorrowful state
