The Pottery Cottages
Cream, grey, blue, yellow
Blue, turquoise, pink, green.
The pottery cottages stand in a row,
Pastel-painted and pristine.

Parkrun
They gather in a crowd at nine,
Every Saturday morning,
Come rain or shine.
The regulars greet each other,
A community run,
Like sister and brother.
Brambles in June
A thicket of thrusting thorns,
A tumult of tangled tentacles,
Spiky stems snarling,
Vigorous, vicious,
Like serpents of Medusa,
Eager to ensnare the unwary.
Jonah 4
Sermon on Jonah 4. Comparing Jonah’s anger with God’s mercy after God chose not to destroy the people of Nineveh when they repented. Asking ourselves, do we presume what God should do? Or do we wait upon the Lord?
The Dorset Shepherd
Cast in bronze, a-standen strong,
On his crook a-leanen.
There he do bide all day among
The busy shoppers passen.

Life of a Fly
On a Sunday afternoon,
Behold the little fly
Buzzing to and fro,
Who knows where, who knows why,
Sadly oblivious to
The chicken’s beady eye.
Suddenly, snap!
Fly becomes snack!
Such is the short life of a fly!
Unrest on the Embankment
Screaming, snarling, yelping, yowling,
Crashing and lashing in the undergrowth –
Fox-fight.
