a long way to go,
as I continue to climb,
it’s almost a race.
don’t look down, look up,
did you say that I’m tiny?
just think perspective.
you see from my side,
I’m invincible, really,
I am a giant!
such fun, eh… giggling.

a beautiful eagle
he flies up
such a wonderful sight
I look up and I can only just see him
I craned even further
and I almost lost my balance
on my window
then he dives down, what has he taken?
a mouse, perhaps?

Too close for comfort
that’s for sure
why has that happened?
That ship is huge
while our lighthouse seems so tiny
in comparison.
Back, back, we shout!
Push, push, for pity’s sake…
can they hear at all?
But it’s beginning to work
Heave-ho – that’s the ticket!
My goodness that was worrying for a bit.

he’s an artist
he strides across the fields
he has his easel and all the other things he needs
he stops
he looks around
it’s the perfect place
he sets everything out
and then he paints
broad strokes
colours vivid
is it a masterpiece?

a failure?
not for me
I’m far too clever
to not to do anything like that
I might be boasting more than a bit
but what’s wrong with that?
I’ve got my great camera
I can whiz it out
how fun it is
hurrah!

books, so many books
how many have I read
I wonder
just say, lots
long ones, short ones
mostly fiction
but many different genres
and also lovely poetry
I look on my shelves
I look in my kindle
so many unread books
there is no way
I will read all of them
before I am gone

she just arrived
on this beautiful bay
azure on the water
creamy white sands
and up in the sky
little billowing clouds
she began to walk
slowly but surely
it will take all day
and then the sun will go down
she’ll lay her eggs
then later she’ll return
back into the ocean
and looking up to the moon

I haven’t climbed this one
it looks doable
shall I try it?
easy to start with
going well
but now it’s getting harder
but that’s the point
slowly does it
and cling on
whoa, that was scary
I’m almost there
and yes… that vista!

For the visually challenged reader, this is a photo-shopped image (time-lapse image) of a man climbing a rock. The photographer has captured different stages of his climb and it looks like many people are climbing the rock. The last stage of his climb is when he is triumphantly sitting on the top of the rock.

He is an old guy
and rather downtrodden.
He stares in the distance
and thinking not too much.
Meanwhile the cat
sits pretty and pleased;
she’s the clever one.
is it his?
that cat?
now let’s see.
The guy turns to the cat
and the cat looks to him
but of course we are together,
now let’s go to eat something.

just a few flowers
on the edge of the landscape
it’s so grey
there’s no mauve, jasmine or pearl
so smoggy in that city
but close by, the colours are vibrant
there’s dahlias and daisies
so vivid
but it’s blurring now
such a shame
