New hope

 

On hold no longer

Spring’s majestic arrival

cheers tired, jaded hearts.

Winter in Spring

 

Wind-sculpted snow drifts

soften a harsh urban hill;

children on sledges.

House sparrow

 

House sparrows twitter

from gutters and garden shrubs

warming tepid hearts.

Magnolia

 

The fattening buds

filled with the promise of Spring;

not much longer now.

Renewal

 

Deep winter decay

from which all life emerges;

faintest hint of spring.

Brrrr

 

After days of warmth

a chilly north wind reclaims

Winter’s legacy.

Segue

 

Magnolia blooms

have all but gone; early Spring

beckons to Summer.

Farewell dear Cornwall

our time with you is now done

we long to return.

St Agnes

 

A cold sea breeze drifts

landwards. Not enough to halt

Spring’s warming advance.

Celandine

.

delicate flower

beautiful beyond compare

yet beauty deceives

as you spread your roots and leaves

you’ll not be mine celandine
