Daisy

 

A single daisy

awakens deep memories

of carefree childhood.

Tatties

 

Laying potatoes

out to chit; ready to plant

on St Patrick’s day.

Winter still

.

How the blossom lies

with its smallest hint of Spring

tricking and teasing.

Valentine robins

 

Flowerpot showers,

frantic feather ruffling,

Spring is in the air.

Impatient

.

Come Spring and banish

these long nights and impotent 

days. Bring me succour.

Snow forecast

 

The winter sunshine

full of deceit, tempting us

to believe in spring.

Two-stroke

 

Sound of a two-stroke

drifts down from the allotments;

reminds me of Spring.

Mulberry Point

 

The stillness reaches

into my soul; once again

I can breathe easy.

Plastic sheep

 

In pebble dash fields

Spring lambs frolic unaware

of the urban sprawl.

Swan

 

Resting in Spring sun

natural soft down pillow;

no synthetics here.
