Creature - sewn from parts -
Turns, ultimately, toward
Darkness: who'd've known?

Hedera Helix:
Vigorous roots climb skywards,
Old tree knows its place.

My lost pill bottle!
Cultured mould to counter moulds ...
Now rests in leaf mould.

Welcome November! Visiting the Davis family in Connington today gives an opportunity to revisit a special spot in the nearby woods..

How long have laid?
Weathering the seasons—to
change from lost to found..

Ahh! I missed out a 'you' in the opening sentence! 🙄

The witching hour passed
Without incident: no tricks,
Or treats, came my way.

A late one as not long come in from our Halloween duties; who knew there were so many trick or treaters in our little town!

We entered into
The spirit of Halloween,
'Coz we are Big Kids!

Got a parking fine -
Overran by half an hour.
Sixty quid. Bastards.

Aw no, the nasty yellow adhesive packet that spells doom. Gutted for you..
My grandmother Kathleen was a troubled woman. Today, she would have perhaps received the support she needed with her mental health. Back then, brutal ECT therapy was administered. She suffered, so did her children.

A tender moment?
An awkward hand, smile half-formed.
Dark secrets beneath.

Visiting my favourite Auntie today just outside of Doncaster, winding back the years and talking of our families..

Family silver;
Objects that speak to us of
Our shared ancestry

Moon lies down to sleep
Blurred by distance and season
And shit camera.

A haiku in praise of cheese, after Cheese Club at The Thirsty Giraffe and with a nod to a certain song by Gwenno, 'Eus Keus':

Yes, we all brought cheese!
Chuckles, slices and in slabs,
And it WAS easy

Talking of waiting, I've been waiting for this day to arrive for months, even years! I cannot wait to begin reading...

My heart is racing,
Eager to join Lyra on
Her final journey

... Let them wait, I say ...
... Let them start to salivate ...
... It don't write itself ...

Always good to arrive home after a long night, Paddy! Inspiration today provided by a visit to my late father's hometown of Stamford, and a trio of benches, etched with quotations:

Here's a place to sit,
In a bohemian town.
Freddie would approve.

My average speed
Creeps upward as I approach
The warm hearth of home.

With thanks to Patti Smith for insight and inspiration on a day that felt devoid of it:

Thomas, Plath and Reed;
Brighten the dark evening with
Verse, prose, plays & song
