Day: June 15, 2016

Walking in rain

I put on

that old

light brown

Fedora hat

to walk out

in the rain.

A hat

that’s worn

from use

stained

on the brim

but fits

as it sits

over

my brow.

I prefer hats

to hoods

better to see

and to hear

what surrounds

than enveloped

in plastic

that baffles

the senses

Reminds me.

A word

to the wise

I’m proud

of my skin.

It speaks

of experience

a certain

amount

of knowledge

built up

over years.

Kindness too.

Wisdom

sometimes.

 

 

RAC

Low mood

 

The heaviness

Of the rain

Has brought

on a low mood

So played

T Bone Walker

Loud

And if that fails

Dammit

I’ll go for a walk

And turn

The word channel on

Radio Rob is best.

 

RAC

Low moods

 

Soon it will be

the anniversary

of your death

the weather

cleared

that midsummers day

And the mourners

danced

to celebrate

your life

in an open field

That long

circular dance

that once

you would

have called

to the drone

of an accordion

And so the body

kindly reminds

loss is about

remembering

the good times

and the goodness

of you.

 

RAC

Summer snow

 

The clematis

Climbs

Through

Birch limbs

In front

Of the stables

Heavy rain

Falling

And the white

Petals

Fluttering

Falling too

Summer snow.
