St John’s Gardens

.

Dappled sunlight gives 

Little warmth and trees little

Shelter from cold winds.

Dull day

 

Only the crying

gulls break the monotony

of overcast skies.

Autumn

.

Her calling card dropped

without any compassion

for lingering hope.

Last stand

 

This stubborn Summer

reluctant to relinquish

its tenuous grip.

 

by Scooj

Last days…

 

The deceitful sun

warms my back just enough to

keep chill winds at bay.

Flight arrival

 

A New World welcome,

overwhelming heat follows

air conditioning.

 

by Scooj

Mild

 

Oh, cold Winter come

and cleanse with frost and snow, land

draped in Autumn mud.

Black Headed Gulls

 

Fearing my approach

gulls sidle away from me

before taking flight.

Windfall

 

Roaring winds recede

and stillness descends. Fallen

apples, food for worms.

 

by Scooj

Foothold

 

Even now, as raw

winds battle southwards, Summer’s

last traces rejoice.
