On J M W Turner’s Yacht Approaching The Coast

Bright blinding sky casts
Eddied reflections on the
Muddy, jealous sea.

On Raindrops in Bloomsbury

Faint droplets fall in
Whispered hush - my eyeglasses
Mist up, smeared with wet.

On Knopps’ Iced Chocolate

Under torrent lash 
Of solar glare, I sip my
Cup of languid bliss.

On The Fleeing Doe

She fled away in 
The night, doe-like, chased away
By her Growling Bear.

On The Norrington Room at Blackwell’s, Oxford

Subterranean
Cave of literary joys:
Euphorical me!

On Coffee

I swill down a last
Gulp of this black elixir.
Exhale: Life goes on.

On Linnaeus

He ranked Men by skin
Color - Europe on top. An
Evil science indeed.

On These Dark Clouds

These dark clouds gather
Above a tepid sky - I
Wait for a glimmer.

On Reading Milton

Dense and lustrous verse
Each word rolls off the tongue like
Dark incantations.

On Inflation

Annual % change in Consumer Price Index in selected countries
Inflation: well and 
Truly beaten? The Fed holds
Its breath in suspense.
