lunchtime storm
in my egg sandwich
the taste of rain
 
intermittent rain
under a red umbrella
lovers share coffee
 
anorexia
the cold stare of eggs
on her plate
 
guests gone
an allegro movement
as I clear the table
[famous reporter #  27 : Jun 2003]
 
silent dawn
in the tethered barge
a tramp
 
ageing -
each day a familiar word
slips through the net
 
rainy spell
the firefighters eat
their Christmas cake
 
New Year's Eve
all the riddles
I haven't solved
 
long convalescence
sitting it out
my dog and I
 
gurgling baby
from my garden the scent
of ripe plums

[famous reporter #  35 : Dec 2007]

 
the first bus -
eight people chatting
in four different tongues
 
lunch break -
squatting on the kerb
house painters
 
thickening fog -
the lame man hops
onto the last train
 
mountain lookout -
Dad's firm hands
on my shoulders
 
faster and faster
my corgi pup
chases his tail

[famous reporter #  38 : Dec 2008]
