Last daily poem
run out of inspiration
fun while it lasted.

Spiteful gusts of wind
demolishing trees that have
stood for centuries.

The clocks spring forward
by an hour, lighter at night
just an illusion.

Cinquain


Forget
names and faces.
Days spent in a grey fog.
The person you are now hidden
from view.

Seagulls wheeling round
a small red tractor ploughing
up the rich brown earth.

Platform 9 Clapham Junction

It's here they leave me waiting. No hardship in this place
I always feel at home here though no familiar face
to greet me in this steamy room where travellers come and go
look up to see a TV screen a children's puppet show.

 One end dingy  benches where a couple kiss farewell
though chairs by the refreshment bar more suited to hotel.
At the counter young girl asks 'what would you like with tea'?
'A breakfast muffin' the reply, I  have been up since 3.00.

'Have this seat' the young man says with a friendly smile
Football fan puts the sports papers in a pile.
Look through smeary windows safe from the icy rain
All too soon time to go here comes the Weymouth train.
