"Soup won't burn / Spiders can't get / outa sinks
'Settling, white dew / does not discriminate / each drop its home.'
Counterpoint sun rays / dissolving distantly down / to the horizon
Smoky mist muffles / faces, places, some spaces / softened, subtle light
Sticky sleepy eyes / simultaneously wait / two slowly focus
seemingly drowsy / winter afternoons slowly / yawn steadily, stretch
images of hills / embossed across horizon / sepia stillness
a little black bird / tiny beak, freshly watered / taps through Sunday mist
Sunday afternoon / distant sound of ice cream chimes / accompany stroll
a waking dunnock / orchestrates warm, dawn chorus / shadows morning light
Light mellows and melts / wide reels of violet mist / wheel on silvered waves
the nearly full moon / jam jar stamped, blackcurrant sky / pearl lidded in hours
hedge sparrow rustles / ribbons through bright, white snowdrops / tapping songs of spring
grey mist lightening / prints of gulls pattern , shadow / the welcoming blue
twilight fades tonight / warming sunsets, quietly read, / led from day through night
Twilight, setting sun / raspberry reds fall and fade / into black currents
Blue-edged butterflies / chase, lace, softly ribboning / spring afternoon skies
Blue sky, white gulls float / misted, reflected circles / tiny cup, green tea
primroses shiver / pale lemon petals simmer / brighten grey river
"mountain mantra â / vowels, consonants, sibilants / between silences."
silver molten glass / sea indelibly engraved / traces, liners pass
A certain stillness / orange lights sashay, shimmer / dance on distant shore
sepia, dark blue / deep glue of night wraps, enfolds / hours till dawning light
Grass tinged warm air / flare hovers and floats and drifts / horizontally
Quiet black silence / night's seconds forwardly tick / and tock to morning
leaves as yet unseen / buds sporadically sprouting / yellow, red and green.
tint of summer sun / orange peeled peach apricot / strawberries and cream
Freizes of warm breeze / brush water coloured washes / through backdrop of skies
Nearing midnight blue / colours of night warming through / till dawn, lighter hue
puddles in moonlight / liquorice twists of silver / glintingly shine bright
Low night light, high tide / berth to ocean, serenely / silently, boats glide
A warm, calm, creamy / milky soft sky pierced bright blue / tranquil and dreamy
Deep blackberry sky / stars, cat's eyes, retroreflect / rest and blink and fly
Night time syllables / gently lullaby warm sleep / rhymes of soft sound, deep
A shell, duck-egg blue / shields cerulean azure / summer sky askew
Moonlight channels cloud / silvered patterns stream river / quiet ; yet aloud
dark blue velvet net / back lit ; radiating stars / city silhouette
