Send us Fan Mail Messages I looked up this morning, and saw the moon descending, in slips and rolls across the windswept storms, seas and skies, blinking, watching, wondering, behind the clouds of curiosity’s eyes, for whilst against a proud and tall sycamore tree I stood, limbs astride, branches extending to the thundering, roaring, heavens high above, a single seed of passing...
Pathways to the Moon 15.02.2023 0:48
Send us Fan Mail Pathways to the moon Above the hidden the stars, high beyond the whispering tops of trees, the moon slipped between the clouds of midnight, and spread diamonds of constellations in their thousands upon the silver the branches of yesteryear’s leaves, For as I travelled, along the moonlit, the pathways, hidden in winter, the darkness, dreaming of the light, airs...
An Early Spring 13.02.2023 0:50
Send us Fan Mail An Early Spring? It might yet not be May, with forget-me-nots to be, but spring is awakening, behind the grey, the still, the quiet, of February For upon this very morning, the birds that sing do so by calling, the colours out of silence, the new grass and green, As upon the garden lawn, and lighter dawns the thinning blues of dreaming skies, a single flake of snow and dr...
Cold.. 12.02.2023 0:42
Send us Fan Mail Cold Crisp and cold, the morning slipping, from night and stars, the opening day, yet foretold, For dawn, her light, is awakening low, in creases of sky, the opening hour, in colours bright, and winter gold. For an eastern wind is lifting light, to dreams, to daylight, the birth of Spring, in the tearful dark of winter’s eyes, crisp and gold, that March in rain, and storm...
On 09.02.2023 2:20
Send us Fan Mail On On the last cusp of evening, just before the hush of dusk dances the last dance, through the speckled sunlight, amongst the flickering branches, beneath the peach and blossom, the fall of a late summer sky, if you listen, if you listen carefully, and in the time it takes to cross the footbridge, over the stream that empties itself, out beyond the woodland, ...
As Tall as The Wind 08.02.2023 1:08
Send us Fan Mail As tall as the wind ‘Who is as tall as the wind?’ said the sea to the sky, ‘why, not me!’ whispered the tree with her leaves, tickling with curiosity by and by. ‘So, who is as tall as the wind?’ asked the tree of the earth, ‘why, not me!’ answered the seed growing with life smiling and laughing with mirth. ‘Who then IS as tall as the wind?’ asked the seed of the soil ‘W...
Of Silence and Sunday 07.02.2023 2:15
Send us Fan Mail Silence and Sunday February, and daylight creeps slowly, stealthily, silently, across the eastern rim of a rising sky. Hushed, are the winds, the trees and fields, as a single bird lifts the wings of dawn to fly. For it’s colder today; the shadows of dark, of night, slip across the empty streets, beneath the street lamps, naked of light and empty of meaning...
Flurries 06.02.2023 0:20

A day (Moon madness) 03.02.2023 0:39
Send us Fan Mail This day of shadows and wind, bending treetops, moaning, and menacing, in gusts, and roars, bellows and invisible rushes across the hidden, the hurrying dark of February skies, whilst above, high above, the rain washed streets, the puddles, and reflections, the blinking awakening lights of houses and homes, the moon, slips between ocean skies of racing clouds, i...

The Glove (7) 27.01.2023 3:25
Send us Fan Mail Despite herself, and grasping both gloves, she couldn’t avoid his eyes, she looked back at him, could see his confusion, his face like the changing of seasons, flickering and changing as lights across a hillside. ‘Yes, please…’ the words slipped weakly from her mouth, then stronger,’why…why did you take it with you?’ He looked away, wanting to hide the naked loneliness in his eyes...
Two Dawns and a Day 26.01.2023 0:40
Send us Fan Mail Two dawns (and a day) Still is the morning, early sunlight on a distant hill, missing your footsteps climbing upwards to the awakening view. So along the pathway across ripening fields and ripples of golden wheat I imagine your smile, when these two dawns do meet. For the sky, is so perfect, a summer of blue, the sparkle of life awakening this August a day for dawn, an...
Blackbirds 24.01.2023 1:06
Send us Fan Mail Blackbird There’s a blackbird singing across the still morning air, her song ripples in the moonlight, a melody of a summer stream, wishing the dawn was already there. For it is deep in the mid of winter, the snow drifts, high upon the garden wall, the skies hidden by fog and banks of rolling cloud, her wings still folded, waiting for dawn her springtime call. A...
If (Politics and Nature) 23.01.2023 0:42
Send us Fan Mail If (Politics and Nature) If the moon slipped and fell, from the cradle of skies to the wind blown sea, would it matter, would it matter then, to me? If the stars then tumbled, in a crown of constellations upon the waves of majesty, would the fish then listen to the wings of gulls calling and crying in glee? And on the shore, when the high of tide has retreate...
Hushed 22.01.2023 0:44
Send us Fan Mail Hushed Hushed is the snow, the first morning of another day, her footsteps still following the stars, the dawn has lifted away, for the silence fills the emptiness, the hidden blue of her eyes, tears in droplets of ice, frozen ‘til April, in the awakening sunrise.

Send us Fan Mail Morning bells Morning bells, the church tower lost in flurries of snow does chime, winter light returning, dawn edging above the drifts and clouds of dawn and time, For another year stretches, in calendar days the retreating shadows of yesteryears, ‘how long?’ the blackbird sings above the hours ‘how long?’ he sings, into the darkness waiting,waiting, until spri...

The Glove (6) 13.01.2023 3:29
Send us Fan Mail The Glove The doors once again hissed tightly shut, this time closing behind him. No place to sit. He put his bags on the floor by his feet. Leaned on the glass panel and looked around him. He held the glove uselessly in his left hand and just for a few stops, shut his eyes, and trusted to the muffled rocking motion, the regular stops and the warm, dry welcoming air blasting from...
No War (Everyone has gone) 12.01.2023 0:32
Send us Fan Mail Everyone has gone from dust to dreams to dusk and darkness, ‘Twil matter to none, for the morning sun stands empty, the sky a blanket of cloud smoke and grey with lines of footsteps abandoned ruptured in shadows of war fractures death, destruction, and decay.

The Sea (Year’s End) 11.01.2023 0:36
Send us Fan Mail The Sea Above the rising tides, the winds that rush and fettle above the sky through the shaking hands of empty trees, the blue of dawn in ragged strips, wrinkles and shrugs, sighing mournfully for sifting through the last of autumn’s leaves, a single crow barks above the mud, the plough, along the empty ripples of loam rilled fields, as the year doth end,...
High is the Moon 10.01.2023 0:21

The High Tide 09.01.2023 0:51
Send us Fan Mail High Tide In the high tide of darkness, in the cold, the wet and wind blown, the new dawn waits off stage, waiting for the surge of winter, the blindness of January, in seeds of clouds and moon, waiting to be sown, and below, the huddled rooftops, behind alder, beech and yew, the village church points skywards, and chimes to the world, time unfolding the h...
The First Light of Morning 07.01.2023 0:37
Send us Fan Mail The first light of morning The first light of morning, dawn and grey with flower blossoms of clouds upon the rose petal east, an opening sky, for today a light mist rises above the empty fields, all is quiet, all is hushed, only the hours chime, as time whispers slowly unfolding, the echoes and memories, in flights of wings and memories, passing me by, and taki...
