Retro 308 Poems

We came out early on that Tuesday afternoon

I didn't want to part just yet for you to be gone so soon
...

You went for red not blue
Gutted
Too subtle, too scared or making it clear
It didn't work
...

Texting in oven gloves
Simples the meerkat says

Solving Sudoku submerged
Simples the meerkat says
...

I think I know
but I probably don't
so I need you to tell me
or maybe I don't
...

I waited for the tick and tock
For the light to present a message
To get the nod to grab my coat
And start the race to you
...

Through the tree lined lobby and into crisp cold air
We set off round the corner to seek a simple lair

The Westminster arms gave beckon and we descended to her snug
...

A day of peace just on our own
Oh what a lovely treat
An early meet in morning light
To take our dull green seat
...

It took a second to decide to turn left to you
To knock on the wooden door and enter your home
Pizza and tea and entertainment from your little one
We watched haywire but couldn't get the plot
...

The Barbican in the pouring rain
And in the curve at noon
But not a drop did fall on us
Where ever our feet did roam
...
