A big white ball
In nature’s great hall
It’s tentacles sprawled
Across the bluest of walls

“My perfect morning is spent drinking coffee,
eating porridge and reading the paper at a local café”
Anton du Beke

Local Book Mobile for the Daily Post

book-mobile-1

When you hear the sound of the wheels
As they slightly screech and squeal
A vehicle driving down the small road
All the kids are quickly up on their toes
Trying to get a glimpse of the nearing
Soon all their faces lit up and leering

The familiar sound of the tooting horn
Breaking the silence of the early morn’
The biggest of all the coaches
As the local book mobile approaches
Soon enough the children come a running
And started has the pushing and shoving

A little while later
Only the sound of paper
Rustling, as the books have found
A solid ground
In the hands of the readers
Truly, the books are mind feeders

Still Waters

After the storm has passed
The water’s surface like glass
Unstirred and calm
Like a cool dark liquid balm

Under the scorching sun
Time for some poolside fun
Diving into the turquoise
Joining the local tortoises

Nightly Waters

After the sun has set
It’s time to get wet
Dipping into the dark waters
We can pretend to be sea otters

A nature’s monochromatic sketch
Close to the water’s edge
Rock and liquid merging
Becoming each others’ version

She asked me
Shedding all her clothes
While into the icy pool she dove

Cool, blue, inviting
Feeling myself sliding
Into the water’s embrace
Sensing an upside down frown
Forming on my face

Did manage to squeeze
Two dogs to the “House”
Who knows, maybe even a mouse…
