Poetry

Mother

I find you washed up,
a small shell
royal blue in lustre,
a sparkling inside…

Leglass

Smashed at a party on a beach,
you lay neck up
bottom exposed
left to greet the morning rays…

Selkie

She chose him:
disentangled herself
from her angel element
of underworld seaweed…

Betula Pendula Tristis

This year the birch’s leaves are sparse,
its limbs palsied with age…

Biker Haiku

Cherry blossom time
kamikaze petal falls
only I saw it…

Snowdrops
