Close your eyes for a moment

 

Hear the tide ebbing,

seaweed pops and crackles and

bright water gurgles.

Painted Ladies

 

Hanging out to dry,

ugly guzzling grubbers will

transform and amaze.

Modern Green Man

 

Shaped from the earth and

hiding in a suburban

garden; I saw you.

Sow

 

Surrounded by seeds

and overwhelmed by the choice;

from small beginnings…

Spent

 

Exhausted after

those nocturnal exertions;

waiting for the rain.

Herbs

 

Sweet satisfying

scents of pineapple sage and

lemon thyme; Spring time.

Easter forecast

 

Midas is losing

his touch, as gold turns to grey

and Spring stalls again.

Bloody freezing

 

Jack came back last night,

his ice grip suffocating

Eostre’s late tenure.

Classy birds

 

Collared doves in love;

modest country cousins to

the streetwise pigeon.

Warm

 

The long grey Winter

at last yields and tender warmth

fills my heart with joy.
