She was calm,
and in the distance,
all seemed fine.
Evening tide
was quite beautiful,
just mellow.
But not true,
there was no-one there,
all had died.
She sailed on,
like Mary Celeste
and others.
And soon she
disappeared again,
and that was it.

Bad ending? Maybe,
but hold on, it’s a new day,
something will occur.
We could play Scrabble?
What do you think? Got the board
right here… excellent!
Who’s going to start?
Okay, it can be you then;
so now we’re busy.
Happy face, good!

She stood reverently,
bowing her head,
hoping to find herself,
there was no-one around,
and that was what she wanted.
She began to walk,
trying to stay focused,
but what was the point?
But then she knew,
she must do this,
that beautiful
nunnery.

that is no such thing
as ‘just’ a cat – ‘just’ a cat?
definitely not.
she’s always regal,
pretty, beautiful – of course,
and she’ll stare, and stare.
what is she thinking?
we will never really know,
she’s just amazing!
could we pry?
nope, definitely not.

A white and fawn cat is hiding behind a partially open curtain hanging on a window. Through the window we can see green trees. The cat is also watching the trees.

Just a mushroom?
No, it’s definitely more than that.
It’s beautiful.
It’s crimson, golden, even russet.
Come on, let’s get closer.
They knelt down carefully.
We shouldn’t disturb it.
Well, not just yet.
It’s a beauty.
It certainly is.
Okay, let’s pick it.
Now!

She was driving up
to the small airfield.
Listening to one of
M.C. Hammer songs.
She had been munching
a nice juicy apple.
She had just enough time
for a sweet and long sunset.
As she got into the ancient
de Havilland Tiger Moth.

what will this be?
it seems to be a landscape
and it’s pretty accurate.
I wonder if I could get a bit closer
although I don’t want to put him off;
rather I should walk a little further
such a lovely lake.

This image shows a man, probably an older man, sitting by the shore of a lake and there is a painting / picture in his hand. It looks like he is trying to capture the scene in front of him on paper / canvas.

Sewing?
Not my forte,
definitely not.
I can’t darn
I can’t knit
I certainly can’t crochet.
What can I do?
Well, I can turn up my jeans
as I’m rather short.
You see, I’m a writer
…and so
it doesn’t matter what I wear!

a flash of light
then darkness
my moon, my wonderful moon
where is she?
her name is Selene
and she’s captivating
she can be huge, and brilliant
or far, far away
but she’s always mine
but now she’s red, blood red
is she angry?
