Not a Hyku (No26)

I locked my phone
using a fence post
in the country side.

Tiny

Ice crystals form
On a fence post
As the temperature drops
Bellow freezing
In the countryside
The crystals form triangles
And a 1000 tiny fingers
Insignificant
But real and connected and with purpose
On a grave
By a church
Alive and asleep
With roles to play anyway

Not unlike the giant ancient  tortoise out of The Never-ending Story

Jarmmers Day

The kids were in hysterics last night
watching a Harry Potter on DVD
in German and Spanish. 
Two of Emily’s teeth fell out
and The Tooth Fairy came
and left two doubloons (£4).
I think it is a good day to watch The Hogfather!
6 Sleeps  to go
and there is a Mistle Thrush in the Garden
and snow on the roof.
