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?

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?

This image shows a windmill standing in a field of tulips. In the background, you see there is a yellow fog and it seems like there is dust in the air.

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!

Looking out to sea and see the sea
what a complicated thing it is…
but he doesn’t think too much
in fact, he’s rather thick
but he’s only doing his job.
He’s pretty handy
he’s slow at somethings
but in other ways he’s quick!

have you guessed it?
a traffic warden
or maybe he’s a footballer
any other ideas?
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!

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

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?

Total lunar eclipse 3/14/25, showcasing the captivating reddish glow of a blood moon against the dark night sky. Just a bit of white at the top! The stars dot the black background on a very clear night!
