Little Rabbit
Despite time moving quickly around it, the little bunny rabbit goes slow.
All the other little rabbits hop in time but this one falls behind.
No one knows it's there, no one really cares.
Feet so small they barely make a sound.
Inferior to the rest.
Although the sun lights the way, the finish line is still far away...
but the little rabbit carries on.
Desperate to get to ...

A Place For Mushrooms
Roses were never within her
For only the cloying fragrance of lilies
emanated from every pore
and ethereal breath
A succulent moss gave comfort
like an earthly blanket
Seducing her cold, dead bones
Pale, decaying flesh turning
fertilizer for sprouting fungi:
such tempting, flavoursome morsels
of a fine meaty bouquet
The swirling breeze whispers:

The storm after the storm
In general, it is possible to fly,
This requires a certain solitude,
And I don't mean temporarily,
Immobility breeds creation,
Just like being blind heightens the other senses,
It's easy, they say, if you know how,
To weather the storm after the storm,
Keeping your ideas close in case,
Another comes rolling along.

Wind
I hear you, sneaking there – whispering among the tree’s,
A delicate touch, they barely stir, as you dance amongst the leaves.
You carry scent, the messages of life, as across the land you fly,
With hidden notes upon your wings, story's spun within the eye.
Yet upon a whim your attitude can change, your ire you want to show.
You shake, you roar, you bend and break – you hu...

Evening Thoughts
It brings me comfort knowing we're sleeping under the same sky,
Gazing at the same moon,
Wishing upon the same stars.
It makes me feel closer to you.

Roadside Wildflowers
I hope the stars
Always twinkle for you.
I hope the flowers
Always bloom for you.
I hope the sun
Always shines for you.
I hope the moons
Always bright for you.
I hope the sunset
Is always your favorite color.
I hope your ocean’s
waves are always calm.
I hope your river
Always runs true.
I hope the rain
Never lasts too long.

That Paper Twang
I once heard a flute from far away
Was it the doorbell or the voice of Aunt Maye?
I tried to follow the flute far away
And found the carriage-drivers whistling with green leaves
I once knew that all they did was drive carriages
But I didn't know that they feasted on cabbages
I tried to follow the flute again the next day
And caught Aunt Maye brushing her teeth in the garden

England, low tide
All the fuckin’ country
is tense about some dead duck football game
tonight at 8 pm (or so I’m told).
The sea it slinked away but turned again
and stealthily manoeuvres to reclaim
the mudflats populated by the clumsy
clumps of seals. They loiter, lolled
like slack balloons, like lard
collapsing down to chip fat on the hob.
But we, we sit up straight: our sofa, st...

Portal
Barely a arms throw away
from where you walked
the lights holds it own
to the darkness
leading to another world
oiling over the distance
like a door nailed open
at the edge of the forest
blowing a soft tease of a kiss
at the edge of your thoughts
peeling the darkness from behind
in a beauty in near silence
cherry-picking the moment
leading a different way out
to the way you enter...

Across the Land
Beyond this tree is another tree
like a desert highway
in the middle of a field
logged in the summertime
running in tandem with the powerlines.
Beyond this tree is another story
churning towards the coastline
and another adventure
in another day across this land
rubbed across this car window
Beyond this tree during dawn
the breeze is writing
a love let...

Waiting
Documenting the silence
the bus stop is almost reclaimed by nature
until the bus arrives after a long conversation
with the broken country path
in a meditative rhythm each morning
disgorging the mood
its wheels on cast aside leaves
inbetween the sun barely awake
in the early morning sky
and the sinking moon
recording the moment afterwards
restlessly in symmetries in gentle wind

Insecure Wind ??
Feel my cool breath
on your skin
I saw you were dewy
and needed it
Did you catch my little rustle of the leaves?
Stroll under those
old oaks and notice
I make sounds
just like the ocean
Shhhhhhhhhh, can you hear my artistry?
My gentle breeze flirts
with your curls
Yet I destroy whole cities
with my whirls
Can’t you see how soft and strooo...

The greatest artist
Rumbles have started growing louder.
Now there appear bright flashes across the sky;
Filled with glee, thundering sadistically.
I admit they appear absolutely splendid to me.
Blue, white, dull grey and yellow.
No one ever says that's a great colour combo.
But is there a sight prettier than the grey clouds
Trying to cover the tints of soft crimson,
That sparkle throughout the infinitude,

Grassland
hinterlands intact,
forests not a hell,
grass not wheat,
soft cold rain fell
heavens doing what
open clear skies do,
pilgrims of sunlight,
days honestly new
no forever anymore,
now the foe is time,
some end's in sight,
verses don't rhyme
tarnished the sward,
ox-skulls bleaching,
toll paid for a blind,
low, over-reaching
truths die...

Tide
The sea fell in love
With the moon
Because of the darkness
Every night
The sea stared up
And wished for a glimmer
To dance across its waves
And make it feel
Like something precious
The moon saw this
And every night
Wished to stroke silver
Across its skin
The moon fell in love
With the sea
Because of the darkness
Cold and drifting

THE CHOSEN GRAIN
At the bottom of the sea sits a perfectly symmetrical hinged oyster shell
lived in water and land
Inside is a grain of sand
That chosen grain the special one
In to the gap in the shell he has gone
At first it is lonely and dark cant get out
But hes safe from the monsters of the sea no doubt
This tiny grain with sharpened points
Indulges and grows as the shell anoints
He tumbles and role...

Lockdown Fatigue
Quick scribble. I just want to be the squirrel in the tree outside my window today. I've had enough.
Up and down the Ash trees,
Round and round they go,
Unaware, oblivious,
Of these troubles that we know,
No Coronavirus seeping,
Through their very roots,
Dampening their daily walks,
Or tarnishing their fruits,
No handwashing,
Isolating,
Searing, hurting longi...

The Fifth Element
She is fire,
Get close and she will melt your heart,
The light in your darkest hour
But play with her and you'll get burnt.
She is earth,
Her roots rich with self-love and worth,
The natural evolution females seek
But mess with her nature,
And she'll bring forth her seismic wrath.
She is air,
Free and not confined,
Moves like the wind and her path kno...

Hello, how are you today: upper,middle,lower— class.
front, and center.
I’d like to think if a kid were to get up and say I can’t stand this, then the teacher would get behind them in an orderly fashion.
side by side, classroom C-3 parts in the middle of the day, to make their way back to their seat,
show and tells of mommy and me– are always well received.

Nature's Hug
Hmm-mmm-mmm
Humming along with the breeze
La la-la-la
Singing a song with the birds in the trees
Oh Oh-Oh-Oh
Floating along with the clouds
Ahh Ah-Ah-Ah
Feeling peaceful now.
Oooo Ooo-Ooo-Ooo
Seeing the beautiful sky
Tra la-la-la
Watching the birds as they fly by
Happiness is as easy as this
Nature’s hug, Nature’s kiss.
All, all of life, as easy as this.

Careless Breeze
I stood beneath a whispering tree
Upon a windy day
Singing into the careless breeze
My cares they blew away.
Then finally I clearly heard
What nature did avow
And I could see the sun at last
Beyond the leafy boughs.
Yes, finally I clearly hear
What nature does avow
And I can see the sun at last
Beyond the leafy boughs.

Nectar
She danced under the moonlight
Deep, deep into the trees
Until the morning mist
Made her the dew upon the leaves
She dripped unto the fertile soil
Where fragrant flowers bloomed
Then bees refined her into honey
And your eager mouth consumed
Your sticky lips, like summer, shone
As you sowed your field of corn
And the innocence of restless youth
Lik...
