A nice day cancelled

requiem

floral railing
against war
remove  the gilding
so pointless are
the bloody spikes
we're building

Entrance to Underhill park. Hobbit like?

Look what I found in the garden!

Slow growing

Rotherslade unmade

Have you seen the mess at Rotherslade?

  Where the Council neglect their duty.

Weeds and weeds, not bucket and spade.

  Oh Gower! Why do we neglect your beauty?

But Council (ours), you just sit back in your city,

  for the locals, once more into the breach

dear friends are cleaning up, and the plastic pity,

  that visitors regularly see, despoiled upon the beach.

Colourful code?

Wheel mess

New micro poem "Meadow"

Stands each wild flower to its spot,

  swaying on the tide of a golden lea.

Strands in a colour hatched waistcoat plot,

  beholden to a pocket-watch timed for tea.
