Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Shoe shine man
another sneeze held
with his polishing cloth.

August
rain mist slowly gathers
at the lily’s mouth.

Sudden showers
watching my watercolours
run into a Picasso.

Limp sails
after the fog lifts
the curves of porpoise.

Grandparent’s day
tiny tickled giggles
from the bassinet.

Lily pad
in the frog’s eye
the dragonfly’s measure.

Sunday afternoon
suckling quietly
into her babe.

Summer drought
washing the taste of ant
from the copper saucepans.

Home renovations
my husband discovering
another woman’s letters.

The apes chase, flea search
beg for nuts in the long game
to please behind bars.
