Second life

 

On the allotment

Heath Robinson contraptions

harvest rainwater.

Allotment

Here I sit calmly

behind vines and artichokes

shielded from the world

Easter parade

Lined up in a row

eyes to the sky in salute;

dream of salad days

Tatties

 

Laying potatoes

out to chit; ready to plant

on St Patrick’s day.

Allotment trip

 

Warm February

sun brings me cheer when there is

so much work to do.

Two-stroke

 

Sound of a two-stroke

drifts down from the allotments;

reminds me of Spring.

Neglected

With trepidation 

I stride to the allotment 

first time in six weeks.

I don’t care

I don’t give a fig

I couldn’t give a monkey’s

I just want to hang.

Old sly

 

Planting out on the

allotment being watched; I

turn, he slinks away.

Waking up

 

Spring temperatures

soar, stirring dormant slow worms

from languid slumber.
