Simple Journey

No poems in my head
This sunny day
Tip tap sounds
On keyboard
Salt them all away.

Words ambush me
On the sly.

Crisp winter afternoons.
Dublin daffodils
Envious betimes .
Children sledging
Play school away day.
Surprising tonality of snow.
What was thought the wind
Became a collared dove
Bouncing stupid plumpness
On the thinnest twig.

Caught unaware again
By simple beauty things.
Toddler toddling
In the laughter
Of a yellow winter coat,
What he would do
To escape those reins.

Unconstructed tip tap things
To lighten up the day.
