Relax, Refresh

Walking

To the café

Alone

In the country

Many places

Tourist traps

As well as on salt marshes

I think of you

fMRI

Nowhere else to go

We recognise the shapes

Circle square rectangle dot

What more then to show

We wear the capes

Mountain sea river spot

Call to Arms

Half a circle

Or a crescent

With a focal point

For the silence

And the speaker

Beautiful Countryside

There is a tree

I wish to find

Which I last climbed

In Nineteen-Sixty-Three

The end of the fool

I passed the Eleven-plus

Travelled by Baddeley’s bus

To Penistone Grammar School

It was a time of fear

Innocence was raised

Nightmares invaded

Eyes and mind once so clear

Available at Amazon

Afterword

What more to say?

It has been a pleasure

Yes that’s the rub of it.
