Moonstone 65

PETRIFIED

Out of earshot

We dance to the

Rhythm of the rain,

Our audience

Turned to stone.

Scar Tissue #17

NOT QUITE DESPERATION

Pen in hand

But no ideas

To spare rib him.

PARK KEEPER

They think

He's strange

Because he

Blows his nose

On flowers.

COPY

Proofreading

Her silk stockings:

He slowly removes

Several letters

From the alphabet.

Iota 42

GREENKEEPER

Even if I were on piecerate

Maybe I'd still divert

Around the crocuses.

Target, Number 5

SLEEPING PARTNER

Lying in a bed of Rose's

He found it hard to sleep

And even harder

To be optimistic.

Scar Tissue #18

MARGINAL ANALYSIS

I'm only looking

With rose-coloured spectacles

Through this window of opportunity

Because I'm a housebound astronaut.

Jam

THE THINKER

He would only eat

Grapes at a minute

To midnight,

Spitting out the pips

As the time signal

Heralded the hour.

RECCE

If it rhymes,

Shoot it!

Better safe,

Than Ralph.

ALL FOR ONE

She dropped

A stitch in time

To save nine.

The other eight

Had never seen

Her naked before.

Moonstone 49

JUST ONE MORE

Heavy snowfall

Overnight:

The rhododendron,

A lost sheep.

SKINNY DIPPING

Beneath

the surface,

we're all

the bleeding

same.

Target, Number 4

DANDELION

One small insect

On the launch pad;

How much further to

The stars from here?

GRAVITY

In a crazy world

It takes less time

For the minute hand

To travel from the hour

To half-past

Than it takes for it

To travel from half-past

Back up to the hour.

Moonstone 47

MAGICK

It's summer again;

There'll be another

Crop of stone circles

In cornfields.

FORECAST

Today it is snowing;

The postman will only

Bring white envelopes.

Chimera, Number Two

SLOW HOURS

First snowfall of winter;

In shuttered rooms,

It is as if I've already left:

Outside, a gathering witness.

Sol 30

GENESIS

In the beginning

Eve was the apple

of her father's eye.

Bogg, Number 65

HITCHHIKER

When the moor

Hit his eyes

He put on his

Sunglasses

And turned down

The volume.
