short forms 5th September 2016

music
at Mary's house
she expected hymnals
but finds jazz and rock on the shelves

morning rain
beads on nasturtium leaves
visiting bee

limping
from overwork
yesterday's gardening
an awful lot done
in a single day

early bedtime
forced Lu to rise again
and go downstairs

it's not me (she says)
but that the dogs come with me
and Jack licks his paws

and is deaf to pleas

her new painting gives small satisfaction
