17/30 Wasp

Vespula vespers

and Summer incantations

sung in droning tones.

16/30 Moisture

When cloud forms collide

and light reflects in grey shades;

heavenly mayhem.

10/30 Lady Hosta

Easy on the eye

soft curves with pale rippled skin

and this year no snails!

9/30 Bindweed

A loving caress

in no time at all becomes

a smothering choke.

8/30 Teasel

Fresh grown sun-drenched leaves

disguise needle sharp meat hooks

catching on my hands.

Special

This is the home of

the ‘special relationship’,

it all began here.

6/30 Yellow Flag

At the water’s edge

in small clumps of green and gold

waving at the sun.

Eye to eye

A swan and angler

exchanging lazy gazes;

close but not too close.

2/30 Damselfly

Momentary friend,

a wild beast in my kitchen

now released outside.

1/30 Water Lily

 

Living flotilla

not yet festooned with flowers,

I will return soon

I have signed up to the Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild campaign, which began on the 1 June, so I have a little catching up to do. The campaign (http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/30DaysWildInfo) encourages a deliberate contact with wildlife everyday for the month of June, and to share your experience with others. I will do mine here.
