Black velvet Panther 
pads through sodden back garden–
stalking feather-brains.

Manchester, United 😢

Somehow, today, these
Little ditties of mine seem

Hummingbird

Sweet sugar-water
swinging from my cherry tree—
ruby-throat hovers.

Banjaxed

Entire morning spent
whacking my iPad’s back, but
screen won’t go black.
