The Lotty

The Lotty’s looking wild this year
we haven’t been there much
Lockdown saw to most of that
but we’ve still kept in touch

Emily’s been there more than us
and kept it in some shape
but living several miles away
it’s quite a trip to make

So long grass meadow is the norm
with wood chip in between
coupled with a lovely pond
the best we’ve ever seen

A Hideaway Cat, Meow

 

 

 

In the middle of winter.

Resting in the grass
He watches me as I paint
Image I will sell.

Grasp

They murmur beneath their breath
difficult woman,
obstinate girl,
opinionated,
shrew,
man-eater,
they shout to my face
unfuckable,
impossible,
what a waste
of a body,

Wait

Where warblers wallow
Where wolves wallop
Weasels worm, winds whistle
Wishes wild, words wistful

CAVORTING WITH FOOLS

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

Cavorting with fools
like me
can be risky
for your future 

Travel

Thunders throng, torches twirl
Tusks tainted, timber tracks
Tropics tussle, tepid trunk
Thud trees, thud thoughts
Twisted tyres, tracks torn

Wild Rose

By a first morning light
in the sunshine out here
I took a walk in the woods
whilst the skies were still clear
and there in the hedgerow
where late hawthorn grows
I found the delicate pink
of a lovely wild rose

The Difference Between Me And You

I think there’s been a misunderstanding.

I like rain storms, not brain storms

Real streams, not work streams

Drome

Again, we collide, double minded with dueling heartbeats,
Strumming lungs stricken and tightened in a sharp heave,
Lacing legs together to drive out frosty winters, cruel lovers,
Parents that pulled at our arms and swam about us like bees,

Life

You are an ocean
Wide, yet deep
Soft, yet wild

Wildly Cruel

Yet another day is dawning,

the sun chasing away the night.

The wilderness is bathed in light,

creatures large and small are yawning,

hunting to whet their appetite.

*

Lapping up the chilly water,

from rivers flowing to the sea.

Hiding amongst the tall pine trees

so as to avoid their slaughter.

Building warm dens so not to freeze.
