Balconies
The art in Barcelona
makes you stop and contemplate:
how splendid is the curvy,
how pedestrian the straight.
Burning love
In a seaside town
there is joy below
a cold, grey sky above.
The spirit of Elvis marches on,
a hunk of burning love.
Ilulissat
It’s 2am in Greenland,
I’m drinking with my friends,
The huskies howl, the sky is bright.
The daylight never ends.
Colgate smiles
Walking on a Maui beach
I met a charming family.
Hawaiian and American,
they all had Colgate smiles.
Leopards
Under the cloudless African sky
in the vastness of the bush.
Among the sun-baked branches
two leopards fight
over a dessicated carcass.
English afternoon
A shower of flowers
in a walled garden.
Grey sky and a sprinkling of rain.
Hot toast and a cup of tea.
Trimming
It is not wise for a man
to be fully naked
when trimming a bush
with large clippers.
The ocean
As a child
so excited
to see the ocean blue.
As an adult
does the ocean
still have the same effect on you?
Fish and chips
My father loves his fish and chips.
One of life’s delights.
The batter must be crispy
and the batter must be light.
Jamie's restaurant
Why is this spaghetti so expensive?
My mother asked, surprised.
Because this is Jamie’s restaurant,
I replied.
Not surprised.
