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.

Seed selection

 

Killing time, waiting

for the rain to stop, choosing

what seeds to plant next.

Football

 

The Bristol Rovers

roar carries on the light breeze

across the suburbs.

Mind meander

 

Through rippled glass I

gaze at beautiful May skies

and cherry blossom.

Bittercress

 

Frail unpretentious

flower too small to notice

too fair to ignore.

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.
