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.

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.

Mayflower

 

River of blossom

sweet-scented and soft to touch

let me bathe in you.

Spring rain

 

After heavy rain

the smell, that wonderful smell

rises from the earth.

Waking up

 

Spring temperatures

soar, stirring dormant slow worms

from languid slumber.
