N-E-W-S

a lone pigeon on

a neighbours roof

points to all four

directions in turn

like a clockwork

weathervane,

day in day out its

pallid eyes search

the near horizon,

I follow its gaze

absent-mindedly,

and wonder.

Beware weathervane politicians; as reliable as wet loo roll.

I like the poetry of observation and suggestion, Graham, coupled with the intriguing title.
