Tiny creatures
On the screen
Caught by a long lens
Much to ponder
Filled out

“The usual Chinese poem is four lines,” a Japanese poet explained. “The first line contains the initial phrase; the second line, the continuation of that phrase; the third line turns from this subject and begins a new one; and the fourth line brings the first three lines together.”
Deep South
The going was hard
Through deep mist and thick rain
2500 km from home
Returning won’t be easy
Mr and Mrs
On the beach
Distractions are few
A couple at peace
Gazing together
Business trip
A man alone
At his desk
Haunted by visions
Away from home
Thinking of Bradford
The heat of the sun
The glare on the water
Calms the mind
Filled with foreboding
Thursday afternoon
The air is still
The world is alive
Thursday afternoon
Nothing is happening
Geraniums
Pink flowers on a cold day
Against a pale blue sky
Through the window
The dark green tree
Slippers
Soft against the wood floor
A coloured rug at their toes
Well worn slippers
Moulded to shape
Self portrait 2
Soft and yielding
Firm and resilient
Contoured buttocks
Patient in repose
Waiting
A house stands apart
Where the girl is waiting
The wall of red brick
Obscuring her view
