short forms 19th July 2016

moonlight
spilling through trees
seeping through the pastures
among the gorse and the heather.
Footsteps.

morning sun
racing along the path
tardy slugs

bin day
I raid the teen's bedroom
for rubbish
sorting out plastics and glass
from all the crisp packets

getting into shape
I feel a whole lot thinner
diet improving

There's a fat old lady
who stands in front of me
invading personal space

wait! That's a mirror.

Internet trolls. She takes the bait.
