Pittosporum scent –
Attracting the bumble bee ~
Robin prefers crumbs.

Pittosporum scent –
Attracting the bumble bee ~
Robin prefers crumbs.
Busy bumblebees –
Winter mahonia blooms ~
Eight billion lives.
Bayonet scrape marks –
Traces of young bored sentries ~
Local Girls distract.
Their Queen, many years later –
Speaking Irish, amongst friends.
Commuting by car –
Rediscover old CDs ~
Missed singing out loud.
Red Amaryllis –
Just about to bloom, also ~
Ready for New Year.
Old smartphone dying –
You have served me well dear friend ~
Saving late night thoughts.
Write something each day –
No matter how trite, inane ~
Reasons to go on.
On the Arts Block ramp –
‘Stout Cortez at the watch! or ~
Maybe slim Cortez…’
For Brendan Kennelly, RIP.
Making decisions –
Not always that straightforward ~
The road not taken.
Waded half way through –
A poem a day so far ~
Might just go o’er.
