A few summer weeks
Punters head for crowded coasts
Overindulgence!
The sun, sea and sand play games
Make September quite daunting

Tanka: Game of Cards

So play your Trump Card
whether to praise or condemn
Take a look askance
beyond so called left and right
The joker always remains

Cricket is the best
Sounds of willow on leather
How do I explain
a pastime centuries old
in only five short minutes

Tanka: Weather

The perfect morning
depends on how you see it
Cloud obscures the sun
the freak storm brings misery
Inside perfection still reigns

Tanka: Stop the World

Rise and fall and rise
this endless merry go round
No – the world won’t stop
Beauty’s false and pain will pass
Look beyond sorrow and joy
