Behold a peacock
Splendidly colourful
Serenely strutting past

Behold a peacock
Splendidly colourful
Serenely strutting past

Beauty short liv’d
Dandelions with seeds
Life is so very fragile

Staring constantly
Carv’d in hard grey stone
His or her outlook is grim

The double-head-ed eagle
With two heads and one body
Is a great symbol
Picture taken in Golders Green, North London

It stands on a fountain
A painting behind
Only a simple heron

If it does not cover
Your nose and your mouth
Why bother with a mask

An old Mercedes
Parked in a silent street
Will be going nowhere

Face to face they sit
Waiting safely in lockdown
For healthy release

The shadow on the wall
Produced by evening sun
Portends day’s end

With internet unknown
She spins contentedly
A neat spider’s web
Photo taken in Sri Lanka in 1994
