'scape, 1981, 6*, bed, blog, buildings, Carol, clouds, green, grey, lightning, London, love, marriage, Plumstead, red, seagull, Shooters Hill, silence, sky, smoke, Thames, time, wind
she shook the sweets
onto the bed
the grey sky
washed clean
metal smoke rose
then right-angled
a seagull
flew between the buildings
then
lightning
{the sweets were Lindt chocolates, individually wrapped in deep-red; the made bed was covered by a deep-green candlewick bed-spread; she was Carol, shortly before or after we were married, staying in what had been my bedroom, halfway up Shooters Hill, overlooking the Thames basin; this was the first poem I published on this blog, almost exactly ten years ago, and, in those early days, she got very little … no views; I think she deserves more than that; want a sweet?}

Y’know, you’re right to put that question mark after ‘Ten years!’ … it’s actually nine years, I thought suddenly while trying to get to sleep last night: 2011 to 2020 is nine years; my haste to be eventful messed with my numeracy … groan

Still. Kudos on writing for 9 years.

Sweet! I didn’t start blogging until 2012. Makes me think about going back to revisit my original post. I think I wrote something like “this page intentionally left blank”
