Stepping stones of yellow sycamore
stuck to the rain-damp road
a poetical response following close observation: pebbles for rivers of stones

At my desk, NaNo-ing
This time last year
red bed socks
and a quilt to supplement
my urgently-donned clothes

Is it me that drains the battery?
Sun a pale gold coin
twixt hawthorn hedge and sea fret cloud
and my camera battery empty
once again.

and I've never liked spearmint since
Half a moon,
half a sixpence:
a silver threepenny bit,
spent when I was six
on a hitherto untasted spearmint ice lolly

Conjunctive confusion
Crow, raucous at the top of a silver birch,
and I hear the central locking of the car parked underneath click open
'Clever crow' I think.
But no.

On my way to buy a morning paper #11
and the sky this morning
wet on creamy-papered wet
Paynes Grey and a touch of Burnt Sienna

Prompts for a gruesome tale?
A slew of eggshells
pale and slimy-stuck to tarmac,
adherence for a cast-off car key

Did no-one remember to tell us?
The entire morning
cadmium and grey,
still, and so empty
that the world might have ended.

Splash of colour
Cross and scratchy dusk walk mood lifted temporarily,
by purple long and tangled hair
of black-clad teenage girl.

False promise
Mediterranean colours:
the bonnet of a turquoise car,
scattered golden leaves
rime-edged and frost-adhered.
