Through shady green shields,
feebly filtering sunbeams
warm up a park bench.

On the sad sea shore
mum clasps her child to her breast,
boats sail far away.

fade against a glum background
of slender columns.

Window lights and stars
reflected on the lagoon -
still, glittering night.

Sunday promenade,
radiant smiles, kids holding hands,
at the riverside.

Thursday 26 January 2012

Snowy river banks,
opaque blue icy surface
viewed from the stone bridge.

Wednesday 25 January 2012

Sleek spinning tops whirl
round a wooden rocking horse -
children's gay laughter.

Tuesday 24 January 2012

Patterned carpets wait,
temporarily rolled up,
as I'm hoovering.

Monday 23 January 2012

A bold moth wings to
the flowery wallpaper
lit by the moon gleam.

Sunday 22 January 2012

Silently sitting
by the warm glow of the fire
watch the rain pour down.

Saturday 21 January 2012

On top of the hedge,
shivering small new born leaves
sway in the cold wind.

Friday 20 January 2012

Orange-hued weird clouds
on a livid dusky sky,
announce the next storm.

Thursday 19 January 2012

Vigorous brush strokes
blend red with yellow and blue -
an artist's palette.

Wednesday 18 January 2012

A smooth silky shawl
around my naked shoulders,
recalls dad's warm hug.

Tuesday 17 January 2012

Spread wings of white gulls
against a greyish winter sky
skim water ripples.

Monday 16 January 2012

Small sparrows' swift claws
sink scared into the shiny
white mantle of snow.

Sunday 15 January 2012

Conveying dim details
through stylish dark field glasses,
in fancy notebooks.

Saturday 14 January 2012

Mossy green pine tops
raising from behind tiled roofs
wave in the cool breeze.

Friday 13 January 2012

Through pearl grey curtains,
white beams of glittering light
cheer up my lone lunch.

Thursday 12 January 2012

Amber hat on a
gold-patterned burgundy bag -
at the garden gate.

Tuesday 10 January 2012

A globe, stamps scattered
on antiqued writing paper -
yearning for closeness.

Monday 9 January 2012

White gloves on a lying
tobacco brown umbrella,
old papers nearby.

Sunday 8 January 2012

Worn-out leather boots,
ochre strings still tightly tied -
walk the empty march.

Saturday 7 January 2012

Walnuts, red berries
amongst fir needles and moss
on grey winter beds.

Friday 6 January 2012

A pale old pink frame,
pine twigs decorate one side -
mum gives a faint smile.

Thursday 5 January 2012

Show deep devotion,
the highest satisfaction,
kittens' joyful purrs.

Wednesday 4 January 2012

Stemmed cinnamon sticks, cloves,
star-anice, acorns, pine cones,
bound together by golden wires,
lie as a whole on a dried orange slice;
embellished
by velvety bright red ribbons,
tiny ochre leaves,
a silken touch of sapphire beads -
warm atmosphere
in a spicy composition.

Tuesday 3 January 2012

Cranberry clusters
elegantly hang over
a glass of red wine.

Monday 2 January 2012

Muffins, cream puffs, round
a candied panettone -
New Year's tastiness.

Sunday 1 January 2012

A juicy sliced pear,
raspberry jam poured hot, soaks
its smooth velvet pulp.
