Too times I fell when climbing
Through climbing two quickly,
Going from bolder to bolder
I should have been less boulder.
...
There, on my sideboard,
Is a collection of artist's
Paintbrushes, the ones
I haven't used for a year.
...
Slowly dawn breaks over a tired horizon
As light casts away lingering shadows
Of nights deep slumbers.
...
She sits alone by the window
Lost in her thoughts as the rain falls,
Life is passing her by so slow,
Gone are the days of summer balls.
...
Red and Golden autumn leaves fall
Leaving trees bereft of a winter coat.
Moist lichens drip their beards down
Chilly weather beaten tree barks.
...
Days of love and roses
Given to my love with love.
What heart could love more?
How could you love less?
...
It is a measure of man as a species
How he treats the realm of nature.
Man is still a hunter gatherer of food
And clothing and wild animals suffer.

Dear Agony Aunt my husband has started something new
He's learning to dance the Argentine tango
The trouble is we're both 92
And I have the tan but not the go.
...
No more shall we go wandering
By the light of the silvery moon
Or drinking the night time hours away
Because the evening goes too soon.
...
The night yawns and slowly wakes up as
A tired sun dips below the far horizon.
Behind soft grey clouds hides a pale
Crescent moon still drowsy as it
...
