Cold northerly wind

reminds us it is still spring

Dusk

 

Silent darkening

cold claggy mud underfoot

spindly flies dancing

Change

 

Spent most of the day

ever so slightly cooler

than I’d like to be.

Weather forecast

 

Cold wet and windy

The spectre of winter lurks

it’s time to wrap up.

The colour of warm

.

An amber warning

anticipation of snow

is suffocating.

Bitter

 

Siberian winds

cut merciless from the East

take no prisoners.

Cold

 

Hunched over my desk

coat and hat to keep me warm;

gas supply turned off.

School rules

 

Hands out of pockets

walk no more than two abreast;

it wouldn’t wash now.

Composed while walking to work on a very chilly morning and feeling uncomfortable putting my hands in my pockets, because of the school rules imposed/imprinted on me at a young age.

Days for living

.

Chilly morn, clear, crisp

trees cast long slender shadows

and I am alive.

Brrrr

 

After days of warmth

a chilly north wind reclaims

Winter’s legacy.
