The pool; still, grey murk

Arm, elbow-deep, grasps, withdraws

dripping cold, black silt

horizon ablaze;

distant line of trees stands out,

dark against the glare

21.1.16

152

A cold winter dawn

Sky lightens, slowly shifting

Countless shades of blue

13.1.15

151

First frost of the year

Glittering under street lights;

So soon forgotten

8.1.16

Leaving the office

That first hit of cold night air

A draught gulped, thirst slaked

6-8.1.16

149

A loose rope coiling

Twisting along the pavement

Sand caught in the wind

5.1.16

148

Lying in my bed

I hear the rain on the roof

Lulls me back to sleep

4.1.16

147

The friend and the fool

Has hope of forgiveness for

His flights of fancy

3.1.16

146

A grey new year's day

Spots of rain hitting my face

Hands stuffed in pockets
