The sky turns pink, then blue
“Wake up my love , we’ve got so much to do
I’ll bring our morning tea for you”
Lilies scent our bedroom with their blooms
Mmmmmmm!
We haven’t needed suite cases for so long
This metal one looks OK and strong
Careless scramble for whatever we can find
Struggling to escape our To Do List
Blow! “Hello. Please call back next week”
Oh Gawd! that new lawyer! long futile call
At l2.00 my wife Mischa drives us out
Past our early daffs and aconites across the road
At last, beyond the tentacles of Hastings
Pett Levels opens up and we can breathe sea air
Hey !what’s that ? not a Grebe nor a female Tuftie?
It must be a Ferruginous Duck !
A refugee from trashed Ukraine, amazing luck!
God bless our lovely Valentine’s day, hurray!

Hello Sharifin- we met years ago in an Indian Restaurant in Lewes quite by chance, and again, by chance I see your name as author of valentines day 23!
