31 days into July

Pensarn beach
turbines out
in the bay
..
waves breaking
ice cream drips
pebbles roll
..
shingle beach
shifting when
under feet

30 days into July

cool wind blowing trees
umbelliferae bounces
these Clwyddan hill
..
road cuts through rock-then
Wales opens up before you
green and sky- this view

Well that 6 years passed quickly

29 days into July

red lights up front
yet traffic trundles along
roadside scarlet poppies nod
..
wind across
Cheshire plains
catches
fields of agriculture
..
and a
flexibility
of oxeye daisies
..
looking out
the old man
of Helsby
..
his face-
the side
of the
hill
..

28 days into July

wheel spray lifts a swirling mist
car travels on cloud burst
this wet motorway journey
..
home gutter overflows
rain drums on car roof-
my fingers tapping
I wait for a lull to get out-
no luck
..
pouring rain-
clouds
around my boots
..

It happened yesterday

Home from our holiday
The wash machine broke
Rescued clothes dripping
this is surely a joke
Pegged them outside
Giving garden a soak

Washing line snapped
All clothes in the dirt
Go out buy a new one
The expense will not hurt
Meanwhile to my sisters
‘He’ needs a clean shirt
.

seasons
move along
rowan berries ripening
sun shines between clouds

21 days into July

my favourite bench
where willow weeps and ducks call
that’s my kind of quiet

light ripples on water
breeze brushes trees, birds sing
that’s my kind of quiet

I like to be alone
but not in isolation
that’s my kind of quiet

you see my kind of quiet
is within
.
