in my solitude
through the brick work
this one bright star

Now retired from the Government service where I worked from 1968 to 2003. Born February 1950. I am married to Anthony Cox since 1971; we have two children - a daughter Yanda; and a son Khama. Writing poetry is my dearest hobby. I enjoy the aspect of abstraction in haiku. Beside my writing I spend quiet time reading and crocheting. I also enjoy a challenging game of Scrabble. I am a member of the World Haiku Club and some of my poems appears at World Haiku Review, my work can also be read at The Heron's Nest, In Buddha's Temple, Charnwood, Wordchimes, and poetry.com My poetry site is PatchWork, poetry for the whole family.

the streetlamp
buzzes to life
starlight
can’t see,
autumn night sky, from my lonely room,
plays the song
walls of commerce
paths to be followed
soul of an artist sighs
Thinking of parents,
suddenly a shooting star…
Really She or he?
the children step, dance
on the sunlight
from torn roof
empty evening –
‘cept for the streetwalker
lone star on the horizon
