Jellyfish
Like a submarine spaceship
Or a swimming saucer
Sailing serenely below the surface,
Gracefully flexing
From saucer to cup and back again,
Flying Ants
Gulls circle greedily overhead
Feasting on summer’s sudden bounty –
The day the ants fly.
Experimenting with Tetrameter
My son suggested I try out
A poem with even meter throughout,
So here am I a-sat in the sun
To see if the process can be fun!

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.
