Floating

28/03/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



Looking up at the clouds drifting overhead

Surrounded by the swell of a thousand waves

Thinking of nothing but the silence

And drifting without care or concern

Caught

30/12/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



I caught a glimpse of you

I didn’t now where it would lead



I caught my breathe when you spoke

I wanted that moment to last forever



I caught myself when I fell for you

Because you are out of my reach

Staring into the distance

10/11/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



Sitting by the edge of the cliff

Breathing in the sea air

Listening to the birds

Staring into the distance

Behind Weathered Stone

28/10/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



Behind weathered stone,

Atop scuffed carpets,

Upon broken tiles,

Through faded curtains,

In ruined rooms

Under eroded cliffs

Before battered shores

With splintered boards

I am worn down.

Melting

09/10/2020 - Poem a Day Compilation



My ice cream is melting

It’s just too hot

I don’t like summer

What’s winter got?

A Year in Haiku

06/10/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



        I

The new year rolls in

Resolutions freshly made

Soon to be cast off



        II

Hot summer kisses

As I run across the sand

On bare burning feet



        III

Autumn falls slowly

Summer lingers far too long

I don’t like the heat



        IV

Easter brings me joy

In days spent with family

And much chocolate



        V

Weather cools more now

The leaves turn on the branches

And life is better



        VI

A nip in the air

Is more consistent outside

And night falls early



        VII

The snow is falling

Up in the mountain ranges

But rare on the coast



        VIII

Winter bites at toes

Left uncovered by blankets

On dark, frosty nights



        IX

The spring drizzle falls

Riots of colour explode

Under blue-grey skies



        X

The year continues

Halloween has been creeping

But I don’t like it



        XI

It’s warming up now

Tourists a more common sight

I prefer quiet



        XII

Christmas is too hot

For a roast turkey dinner,

Better for cold cuts

Circles

04/10/2020 - Poem a Day Compilation



I’m going round in circles

And I don’t know where to stop.

I turn and turn and turn and turn,

Making circles in this crop.

Wasting Time

29/09/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



I stare at the screen

And know I should be working

But my mind wanders –

Still, I should not be shirking.

Not a Doctor

17/08/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



I am not a doctor.

I would never say I am.

So how do so many others

Get away with such a scam?
