Waiting

(yesterday, tea time)

At the end of the drive the cat had positioned himself at the side of the road looking east, then west then east again, as if expecting the arrival of a favourite cousin or an ice-cream van.

(saw me watching, walked away)

Redemption

Tags

humour, limerick, ode worm, poem, poetry

an ode worm on
a grey winter’s day
with nothing to do
but to wriggle and play
around in the mind
of a poor celtic poet
just niggled and pestered
until, would you know it
a rhyme was invented
the poor fool repented
and went fishing instead
