30 days into June

old rolling pin-
kitchen conversations
in the wood grain
.

29 days into June

early June morning
the snip of his shears
summer leaves fall
.

28 days into June

rose bows it’s head
praying for water-
long dry sunny days
.

27 days into June

moorland inferno
peat fires travel underground
surging seering heat
.
Saddleworth blazes
consuming all in it’s path
summer here at last
.
gone even farther
memories and wonderings
Keith Bennett still lost
.
Elaine Patricia Morris (c) 2018

note….Keith Bennett, the last of the moors murders children whose remains have still not been found.

26 days into June

heat wave lethargy-
wilting as flower borders
wait for evening
.
thumb pressure on hose pipe
arcs streams of crystal freshness
.

yesterday’s garden

24 days into June

two nests this year
swifts swoop under the eaves-
evening shadows rise
.

23 days into June

trumpet bell
audience in concave-
music in the round
.

22 days into June

neglected teapot
gathers dust by the sink-
his pint pot stained
.

21 days into June

fox
drinking in moonlight-
leaves the moon
.
