12/30 English Stonecrop

Sweet constellation

a starburst in miniature

on Cornwall’s high cliffs.

11/30 Fishing

When it rains it rains

and boy, did it rain today

but the fish don’t mind.

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.

7/30 Green

Mysterious bug

lurking on a bramble leaf

with regal splendour.

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.

5/30 Busy Bee

Intoxicated

by Summer’s bramble nectar;

bumblebee heaven.

4/30 Wall Bellflower

Bristol garden walls

patchworked with purple carpets

of campanula
