Adonis

Sparkle of adornment
Mischievous smile
Free afternoons
Mile, after mile, after mile

Seed Change

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

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
