Blue-black dress

Blue-black dress

Italians to impress

In the wedding chateau

Ink blue leaf

Immersed in flower relief

Over there on the mountain

If not to caress

Or favours to suggest

For the declining years

So much mischief

Beneath the climbing disbelief

Over there in the fountain 

The iTunes playlist

The iTunes playlist

Based on Dublin Blues

Is exquisite

Though I may have to buy

More Lyle Lovett

And Blaze Foley

The snow swirls

Turned into a wild flurry

But that too is now over

For we have blue skies

Bright sunshine

And the weekend ahead 

Snow swirls

 Snow swirls

Landing on last years

Dried-out beech leaves

Johnny Cash sings

On your mind

From a playlist, set to repeat

TS Eliot

Looks in my direction

From a Wyndham Lewis portrait

This book

Is drawing to a close

But there is another

Holding on

To the coat-tails

As one might say

And then the rain came

And then the rain came

Though not gushing down

Rather, in the delicate form

Of a light, and fine, drizzle

So not sufficient

To prevent making a booking

For the Minack Theatre

In mid-September

This during a sortie

To a Penzance of many memories

Also to the Isles of Scilly

Which will be an absolute first 

The pen

The pen

The ink

The time to think

With a lover’s abandon

The month

The day

The hope to play

With love at random

The book

The collection

The space to build

A place to land in
