Wow, he’s big
and beautiful,
regal too.
Staring out
on the gate,
what’s he thinking?
He’s hardly moving,
what’s going on
in his mind? (anything?)
I’m getting closer,
can I pet him??
ah – he’s purring!
That’s enough though.
He climbs down,
walking with purpose.

She was slumbering, peacefully, for a long, long time. Will she open her eyes? Not yet. She was fine for the autumn, turning this way and that, making herself more comfortable. Then it turned to the wintery time. It was darker and colder, frigid and stark. She hunkered down, keeping herself warm, as she delved down. Slowly, slowly the winter passed, and suddenly… it was spring! She opened her eyes and looked out.
hey, little squirrel
lovely to see you again
here’s some nuts; enjoy!
…
Squirrels take all sorts of things for their nests, including bits of newspaper and magazines. It kind of reminded me about this photo, so I used it for my prose/poem.

it’s bleak
no sign of life
it’s stark
and yet, the colours are magnificent
it glares white
livid, and burning beneath
and yet, it’s beautiful
huge dunes rise up
is there anyone there?
but there’s no-one
so do we know whether the dunes move?

hello
a new day
she is wistful
yet another tiny tot
will she be healthy and strong, this little one?
it’s Lily – that’s right, it’s your name, Lily
she holds her so very close
yearning, desperately
loving her
forever

there are many things
it can be very pleasant
but not my last name
please don’t mention ‘Hall’
and now don’t get my into
so many issues
it’s just a bit odd
so let me be calm, and breathe
incense, lingering
that’s much better
~~~
PS – my last name, Hall, sounds very similar to the word ‘hol’ in Afrikaans, and it’s rather rude.
Let’s just say it’s called ‘bottom’.

I enter the room, not much there
I see a broom… or maybe, call it a brush?
I would much rather have an easel here
I’ll use a big, big brush to paint
and using many colours
and of course
it’ll be totally abstract!

Amsterdam, bracing
at this time, I fear, my dear
the air is frigid
so let’s cuddle up
and make the best of this… yes?
It’s lovely inside here
in our narrow boat
what a joyful place it is.
Amsterdam, Amsterdam
just a wonderful canal!

two weeks
in a lovely villa
pristine and beautiful
a poem, maybe
or perhaps a very short story
meanwhile, I’m going down
to get some shopping
and writing a couple of postcards
back up now
heave and strain
I’ll be so fit
by then

loving the beach live
the people are all beautiful
no worries around here
the sea is azure
and that beach, sand, sand and sand
more than idyllic
I can hear a man
who is playing a zither
but it’s just a dream
ah well

Gosh, a book club, how exciting
Can we go?
I don’t see why not.
What time does it say?
Ah, let’s see.
Here it is, look
It’s next week, Monday
And in the evening
Six o’clock – that’s perfect!
and so we both went
it was great – reading more books
heaven, pure heaven!
