Poemwalk

Shackleford woods, Lesley Beeton, October 2012

woodland walk
autumn
mushrooms
leaves underfoot

low light
cool skin
a bit damp
much mud!

mood lifts
lungs breathe
legs pump
smile

companion by my side
trotting
sniffing
satisfied


Lesley Beeton, 2012





Monday 6am

Zip, tick -
The light goes on.
Just dim at first, then ever brighter.

Buzz, hum -
Radio on,
Gentle voice, then getting louder.

Brighter, louder -
Both together.
Get up, Ian, get up!

Pitter, patter, getting faster -
Watch out, Themba's about!
Jump, lick. Now we'll get our run.

Lesley Beeton, Winter 2011
