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.

Japanese Knotweed

 

Hostile alien

ornamental, unwelcome

in the native lands.

  • Edited because I can’t count. The word ‘hostile’ replaces ‘invasive’. Sorry fellow counters.

Garden seat

 

A wedding present

bathed in glorious sunshine

I sit with eyes closed.

Wisteria

 

Cascading florets

casting out subtle purples

and pinks. And the scent.
