short forms 14th August 2017

father
no longer here
but for the memory
of a man in utter despair.
Hoarder.

new lawn
the shoots of an old willow
mown down

was that summer?
two days of sunshine
and burned shoulders.
A return to grey skies
and alabaster

teasels
one of my favourite
wild plants

I find seedlings everywhere
cracks in the patio;
growing in the lawn

removed with apologies
