Life at 14 The Green

My tea is cold

It’s time for coffee

With buttered toast

I watch the light

Arrive on the green

Blue skies are here

The move is to recording

In a few minutes

My workplace will be ready

Sunlight reflects

From my neighbours wall

Which is also my wall

Available on Amazon

In and out of concert

To the University

Of the Algarve

Then onwards

To Sul

A collaboration

Making real

The dreams

Forging pathways

With delight

In the treading

To the prospect

Of living cheaply

In Europe

West or East

Before returning

To the growing venture

In Grimsby

Where Seth Lakeman

Is playing soon

Imbalance

More than

Yet also

Further away than

That is farther

Than as you appear

Nearer than

Obscure

Yet clearer than

For sure more sincere

Than you might fear

Available on Amazon

Connecting

Tapping, intermittently

By the workmen

With the wires

I don’t mind

No, honestly

For it becomes

A source of inspiration

Reminds me of my mum

On the phone for hours

To her best friend Margaret

Over sixty years ago

Also of my decision

Not to have a telephone

In my flat at Anchor Court

Instead I wrote letters

And today

Out in my cold, cold shed

Some of the replies are safely boxed up

Available on Amazon

Position

I’m not even CEO

In my own home

And I live alone

Why is that do I hear you ask

Well Twitter for one

Someone liking a post of mine

From a week last Thursday

And those guys and girls

On Email, who either promise

To get my website to number one

Or offer me A Rainy Night In Georgia

If you catch my drift, which you might

If you are your own
