Remembrance


The turning leaves
When dying
Bring such beauty
to the land.

Green yellows
To golden umber,
Deep rust
And poppy red.

November's sad mists
Illuminated by symbolic poppies
As our thoughts turn
To those who gave their lives.

We will remember them
As trees around us
Shed their tears
The falling leaves of autumn.

Art in a Cup


At Tate Liverpool
Even the Cappuccino
Is a work of art.

Magnificent Light


Strong cold winds pushing
Rolling masses of storm clouds
Over the beach at Crosby
In the golden light
Of a winter sunset.

Tuscan Sunset




A glorious sunset
Viewed from the walls of Cortona
End to a perfect day.

Tuscan Sunlight


A certain shaft of light
Falls across this venerable wooden door
Affixed with a simple cross
In a Tuscan hillside monastery.

Sunlight and shadow
Light and shade
Patterns on a crumbling wall.

A shaft of warm September sunlight
Falls across
The shrine beneath the house.
