Powerful. Powerful Music

Music. 

Powerful music...

Take a few notes,

a whole track.

One instrument,

a whole orchestra!

A single piece of music,

but the same piece of music.

To some,

indifference,

others,

tingles,

goosebumps, 

love excitement passion,

even tears...

Others,

it's like fingernails down a blackboard...

Powerful!

Powerful music!

(Haiku)

The 'clink' of a dropped

coin. Look and it's a penny,

don't and it's a pound!

(Haiku)

Cobwebs; frozen by

a winters chill; hang like the

rigging of a ship

2021

Amazon sales soar

tier 3 to tier 4

pandemic; Tom Moore.

...2020!

All working online

'zoom' background's devine!

Sales of red wine.

...at home.

The hurt; the despair 

the love and the care,

now someone's not there.

...death toll. 

Keyworkers; NHS

The jab? Say yes!

Hooray! Success! 

...a vaccine! 

Celebrations; no fear!

No parties 'round here

no canapes; nor beer!

...but social distancing.

Test, track and trace,

hands, face, space,

is the vaccine in place?

...2021?

(Haiku)

How ignorant we

were, this time last year! Dark clouds

bringing more than rain.

Le Fret

Egrets feed in early morning sunlight on abandoned world war two defenses.

Skeletons of hulls slip inevitably into the slit.

Yachts at moorings ‘Clink and clank’ in gentle breeze as men with forks scratch at low tide for bait to fish.

Day trippers queue for ferry.
