Lights and Steps
Palm pressed to the pedestrian button
He feels the metronomic blip blip blip
A warning to cease one’s step
He waits for the lights to change
And permission to proceed
Red turns to green
The button vibrates its urgency
He turns
And walks the other way
I am an English teacher and drummer/percussionist with an interest in literary pursuits, creative endeavours, rhythmic permutations, theological amplifications and comedic outbursts.
Here you will find my creative detritus: articles on living a creative life and writing explorations.
And other ideas I have snaffled from the papers stuck on the fridge door.

My collaborative epistolary novel, "Post Marked: Piper's Reach," written with Jodi Cleghorn (@JodiCleghorn) out now via Vine Leaves Press.
Come and browse through the library; there is no need to be silent.
A Fullness in Brevity - Adam Byatt 
An interesting moment to capture indeed.
