Cold & wet
Soaked by shivering sheets of sky
Nithered to marrow
Buffeted and bounced by
Wind rain and barstewards
Rushing to #precious pubs
In mindless metal boxes
Sitting on the bumper of a Sunday dawdler 10 seconds sooner
Twuntish in their tailgating
And their empty of empathy existence

A bee collects pollen and nectar from blossom 20th April 2025 illuminated by a warm sun

Hey little #bonny flower
Freshened by this April shower
And bobbing on this April breeze
Adored by humble worker Bees
I thank you for your priceless part
In lifting each beleaguered heart
Inspiring every passerby
To lift their face upwards and cry
To life "I THANK YOU!!!"

Ragged #lightning split towering clouds that could have been belched over the horizon by some foul-breathed beast of the desert.
No thunder was heard and if there was rain, it was too distant to smell.

Rich man
With poor morals
Says such things are a small price to pay

They are great.
I sat down next to the one at YSP and contemplated the view and life, in sympathy with the the sculpture.

Doomed to failure
Those with hindsight say
But no reason not to fight
That fact still strong today

Vacillation holds me in limbo
No way to shatter this prismatic trap
Petty distractions occupy my eyes
Glittering snares
Mirrors bouncing me to where I've been
Back round the maze to the start
So I'm stuck in a chair
Looking at my phone
While the world spins
Outside this bubble of #lethargy
