Things that work


Weird mushrooms growing amongst the pine needles out back,

Chilli and 85% Lindt chocolate,

Lots of beans harvested early,

yellow squash growing under tall ears of corn,

Moody grey skies and flaming trees,

Peace and solitude and a glass of wine,

My new vacuum cleaner,

The surprises of my dreaming mind,

Piles of pumpkins and pomegranates,

Fresh sheets scented with vanilla, rose and black pepper,

The face and voice that add spice to fantasy,

Big pots of chicken, corn and noodle soup with crusty rolls from the oven,

Bathing in a Karma melt and washing with honey soap,

Lighting candles when alone,

Tea sipped outdoors smelling thyme and sage,

nefarious plans with no conclusion,

Time to let my mind tumble and fall in swirls of red desire.


Things that don't..

Loud people,

People with mysterious agendas and impenetrable walls,

The noise of computer games,

Being smothered,

Finishing a great book,

Not having money for my spring bulb plans,

morning breath,

presumption,

catching sight of one's naked self at bad angles,

families with non-mysterious agendas that forget manners,

The dead mouse,

wishing to play scrabble with a live human but being alone,

lots of beautiful men now not allowed,

my bloody modem.
