Across the verdant fields and petal-painted meadows the crystal water plots it’s steady course. At times snake-like, writhing as if to swallow itself, each turn and meander eroding and undermining fragile banks. Only the destructive hand of man can stop the river in her unhurried seaward progress.

Ebony trees and mottly skies
contrast the walls of snowdrop white
with latticed glass and black oak beams.
Magpies peer down from lofty eaves
as cross and chevrons guide our eyes
to telltale wisps from tall chimneys.
While on the lawn at close of day
badgers emerge to take the stage
witnessed from the trees, the deer.
While yet nervous, bowed heads feed,
poised ears, black nostrils, watchful eyes
each white rump signals silently.
When her waters broke
after panic came relief,
soon be labour day

“Oh look at that. My luck must be in. She doesn’t know I’m here so if I just wait a while I’ll see if she’s alone. I can’t hear anyone else around. I wonder what she’s doing, shouldn’t she be in school, not sitting here all alone on the riverbank. That’s it, I’m going to sneak up behind her. If I stay really quiet she probably won’t notice until I’m right behind her. That will be a shock but so much fun when I see the reaction on her face and hear her gasp. I won’t hurt her but she doesn’t know that. Right here we go, slowly now, slowly, keep low and don’t make a noise. Oh no, she’s heard me, she’s turning round.”
“Ruffles, you naughty dog, what are you doing here? Did someone leave the gate open? Give me a hug and then I’ll take you home.”

Keenly plucked strings
played the pizzicato way,
rhythm and refrain.

Your heart on your sleeve
can leave you vulnerable
to exploitation,
although such love is fickle
it educates us in life

There was a young teenager from Lee
whose breasts grew exponentially
with each day that passed
she needed new bras
it became rather embarrassing you see.

Multi-national,
a word with so much meaning
oft-times menacing
Cheering only to owners,
shareholders and Directors
