"Life Garden" (Entry 467)

The garden bloomed 

just as it should. 

The cycle of life, 

as I knew it would. 

"Snail" (Entry 296)

The snail crunched under her stiff shop-new sandals.

The girl picked up her foot slowly,

To star at the squashed grey gel

Oozing and spreading around the splinted shell.

A broken bad egg.

She turned to watch her mother who,

Through open french doors,

Sand along to the radio as 

She washed the blue and white striped breakfast crockery.

Her eye-lashes fluttered, as she looked up,

Feeling her daughter’s gaze upon her.

She smiled and waved a soap-sudsed hand

And returned to her task.

The girl gently rolled her foot over the murder

And cracked the shell further,

Satisfied in the smash and the sound,

She went in search of another snail.

"Eden Eliminated" (Entry 91)

The birds stopped singing.
A sudden silence,
driven by madness,
hidden away beneath a cryptic cave - a secret bunker.
Begun by a button depress - depressing.
Over idiotic land dispute.
A-fence-on-my-boundary sort of bicker.
Foolhardy senselessness - that obliterated 'the fence'
and the whole garden with it.
They blew up the Earth.
Eden no more.

"A Fruity Summer" (Entry 50)

Vie with insects 

in oven-warm orchards.

Picnic laid before and eaten.

Sun plays kaleidoscope through branches,

adding nature's checks bright to linen, red and white.

All that's left is a sweetness un-satiated. 

Lips licked and nibbled to heighten desire.

Slow smile curves as 

a waist held and lifted towards the heavens and the trophy.

Red lacquer nails graze as tips reach and fold

around another ripe plumpness.

Then a gentle pull -

to tumble -

and confetti of goodness

rains upon them.

Prize claimed.

Take a bite!

"Garden's Delight" (Entry 35)

Light. Too bright,
and colours garish prance.

Rows of roses and petal heads rock
and roll and metal dance.

Stems swaying in heated breeze,
as misty haze skims their knees.

Midsummer's enchantment at it's height.
The midday garden in full delight.
