A love in verse

The Director

I leave you – back there – a dozen miles away 

A journey of great length – 

Hours till we meet – but it’s okay – 

I left you playing to your strength:


Your ear and sensibility 

Place you where you belong;

Your eye, your sensitivity,

Keep you very strong. 


Ideal director of a play – 

Your Pete appreciates

Take on that seat and try to stay

And be among the greats.

Doing Well

When I think of the parts I don’t play.

The minuscule oeuvre of my writing career

I look at you...

Away

I passionately long to stand, hands in the bowl

Washing up, looking out onto our sunlit garden.

I long to see a cat move sleepily and pause
