A WEEK OF TWO DAYS

There are days when I walk

above the pavement,

when the sun catches the intense

colour of faces, of smiles,


the reds of post boxes,

cleanliness reflected

in windows and glass

shop-fronts, black taxis.


The green leaves of the trees

drawn and detailed with a craft-knife

outline and the trees themselves

speak with the breeze.


Great scrolls of cloud wallow

on the ceiling of an enormous sky

and the scent of freedom

fills all the hollows.


There are days when I walk

down the steps to the river,

slowly sink into the brown murk

of its mud, wonder where


those other days are seen.

It’s Wednesday,

perhaps Friday will gleam.

  1. This is great. You should get into some poetry communities theres loads of links on my blog Fiction is an Addiction.

    Also I would edit your comment settings so that anonymous can comment otherwise only google bloggers can comment.
