A visitation,

and then it is gone.

Awakening

 

Spring blossom wakes us

from our long Winter slumber;

invigorating.

A single daisy

awakens deep memories

of carefree childhood.

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.

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.
