Bruised

reliving childhood
on a brand new bicycle–
’til the narrow gate

Thought Bubbles

Washing up, I’d a
sudden remembrance: water
filling up a tub
for playtime at Nursery–
some fifty-odd years ago.

Right Whale

As a child I thought,
What makes this creature so called?
Now I realize,
Hunters designated you;
Better to be wrong (uncaught).

spaghetti
spills out of the box
recalling
childhood games
of pick-up stix, tinker toy–
even tiddly winks

Impulsive

I shuffled my feet
through heaps of street leaves–only
to repeat child’s play.
