Goodbyes to old car –
Thanking it for its service ~
The spirit in things.

Whiskers
After many years –
Mostly black untrusting cat ~
At last purrs for me.
Populations
Busy bumblebees –
Winter mahonia blooms ~
Eight billion lives.
Kind mentor passes –
As wise as the oldest hills ~
Still learning from him.
[For C. Barry Long, RIP]
An Algarve retreat –
Silence broken by dogs, saws ~
Then, by lovely owls.
Yellow ladybird –
That I cannot photograph ~
Exploring my ‘phone.
Methodical bee –
Visits each of the flowers ~
Even damaged ones.
Deliver training –
Meet colleagues for the first time ~
Better in person.
Sit far from the house –
Deep down in my book, hedges ~
Thrum of my sparrows.
Baby sparrows cheep –
Wood Pigeon’s unfinished song ~
Making lunch outside.
