On Going for a Walk

Christmas shopping anyone? I plan to be organized this year, get everything done in plenty of time, then relax. It’s not going to happen

ON GOING FOR A WALK

shoelaces neatly tied                    
fall into tangles
as I walk through bushes
catch grass seeds
pine needles   wet leaves

when I come home
I sit   undo the knots
consider the twists
and turns of life
how from day to day
I acquire possessions
mail and memories
nothing remains neat
but comes unravelled

my scans - after 18 112 cover To Bethlehem: ‘This little book is delightful, full of … poems on this timeless subject. … the most fun is the little prose vignettes of the common people in the Christ-child story.

A lovely gift for the reader on your Christmas list!’ Rosalind Adams. Available from Amazon and Kindle.
