Holiday countdown

The logistics of the week before a holiday
are a nightmare
What to wear?
and if I wear it will there be
time to wash and dry it ready to take?
What not to wear?
Can I go a whole week at work without my favourite shirt?
Now is not the time to experiment
with colour combinations in order to
free up clothing for Saturday
Will I need my shorts in Dunoon?
Where are my shorts?
I need to wash them just in case.
Or do I?
Socks? I need more socks.

I'm going to work. It's less stressful.

Trowse Woods

An invisible thread had caught a falling leaf
and had left it hanging
magically in the evening breeze
I marvelled at the strength of the gossamer
and at the size of the arachnid that had produced
it

it was at this point
that I hastily left the wonders of nature
and headed for the pub

Soup

At the next table the woman's soup
was bound to be tasteless
she'd been waiting for over quarter
of an hour for it

Storytelling

Some people have fascinating life
stories
if only they'd let me write it.

Hello

I realise that some may have come
because they saw my pictures in Fusion
hoping to see more
and all they get are words

My pictures are here
ignore the giant poo
it's art
