30 days into July
no swifts today
no sadness
they fledge
fly

Dashing dodging
showers of freshness
silver scattered
amongst the flowers
across the car park
wavy rainbows
sway in puddles
why dash by.
Pitter patter
on the car roof
makes me grateful
keeping dry
windscreen wipers
giving rythmn
marking time
until it stops.

the early evening sun
dazzles as it glints
in puddles collected
on a wet summer day.
Unseen rainbows
nurturing growth.

Katauta……
I want the freedom
of bubbles on windy days
carrying rainbows and light.

…….Katauta…..
I don’t wake up well
it takes me 2 or 3 hours
to find purpose in the day
…….Tanka…..
the pale grey stillness
of a manchester morning
here in the suburbs
cushions me from intrusion
while I drink my tea
…….Haiku…..
becoming concious
of the world beyond my spot
today’s life begins

If there are clouds in the paper and stories in the clouds why are we writing ?

I am doing a Writing and Spirituality course run by Writing Our Way Home and this week we are looking at perseverance.
Job
waiting game
or working game
we have to persevere
towards
work
beavering patiently
toiling with discipline
we must still persevere
onward
phew !
flowers bloom
sit back relax
our perseverance pays off
success

The moon poured onto the sea
an ever flowing stream
danced on the waves
edging closer to the shore.
As she slipped nearer
to the indigo horizon
pouring more slowly even then
yet losing nothing.

A silken rain fell in Grasmere
but it didn’t spoil the day
no more than it did the poetry
William Wordsworth wrote while there.

For Faith and Spirituality.
The quiet boat edged along
where warblers sang and
shoals of tiny sticklebacks
waltzed just beneath the surface.
Glistening jewels embroidered
the sun drenched lake.
