Christmas cards

 

Infuriating

time-thief, although utterly

worth it in the end.

Three’s company

Dawn squirrels frolic

silhouettes against grey skies

in skeleton trees.

Longing

 

I long for the spring

the lengthening of the days

and the warming sun.

Juxtaposition

 

Northern hemisphere

writers scribble winter thoughts;

its sunny down south.

Smells of Summer

 

In these dismal days

of central heating, my thoughts

turn to the summer.

Weather forecast

 

Cold wet and windy

The spectre of winter lurks

it’s time to wrap up.

Sprinter

 

Enough already!

Winter’s tendrils holding fast,

bring me some sunshine.

Thaw

.

Long snow-lined hedgerows

stand proud in the warming sun

seeing off winter.

Winter lingers

 

Reset the fireplace

mothballed until next winter

snow and ice return.

 

by Scooj

Melt

.

As fast as it came

Emma’s legacy retreats

normal life resumes.
