a motorway verge
eight crows inspect
a ruined fox

tilted gravestones
the hum
of insect life

powerpoint
and teacher talk
I'm not learning

pretending to
take notes
writing haiku

desolate winter valley
shaped to contain
a glacier

close-jointed brick
the wall fern's
puckered edges

the door opens
and in comes
the cool smell of rain

she leaves the elevator
with the scent
of stale tobacco

published by poetrypea

cloud and sunlight
banding the
mountain's flank

a silver birch
patched with moss
on one side

published by poetrypea

three granite boulders
worn to spheres
by time and ice

as the sun rises
the blackbirds golden beak
speaks a silver song

the shower control
beyond the cascade -
a risky moment

the weed growing
on the wall's top -
seeking better prospects

the songbird's cascade
and rain's percussion
making liquid music

breeze blown
hedge sparrows
flying backwards

the dawn chorus
is singing
in complete darkness

at the bronze
plinth's base
a scented hyacinth

published by poetrypea

windmill sentinels
of distance
describing circles

spring hedgerow
alive with movement
and birdsong

the cherry's
pink explosion
held in air

three pairs
but where
are my spectacles?

fresh snow
on the slopes
at my barbers

little black dress
and little black bag
of dogshit

daybreak
threaded with
robins' song

February's daffodils
are leaning
slightly forwards

power lines
and starlings
making music

still dark
between midnight
and birdsong

published by poetrypea

unheard
the village bell
measures darkness
