Family picnic –
Swifts circling, feed on the wing ~
A fine stand of pines.
Happy Father’s Day –
Go easy on yourself, Men ~
We all have our flaws.
We are all shut down –
Nagging feeling about this ~
Nature is smiling.
Sitting immobile –
Sunny yard, a reading pause ~
Hoverfly inspects.
Pittosporum scent –
Strong, mornings and evenings ~
Bracketing the day.
Magnolia blooms –
Battered by the growing wind ~
White plates on the lawn.
Peter the Bluetit –
Freddy the Robin redbreast ~
I’m in their world now.
Dust on my fone screen –
Appears at first to be stars ~
In my moon picture.
Light in the garden –
Beckons to a warmer place ~
Problems with sleeping.
