Allotment trip

 

Warm February

sun brings me cheer when there is

so much work to do.

Wintumbra

Evening shadows

creep ever longer, urging

nightfall to advance.

Evensong

 

Pink tinged wisps scattered

across a darkening sky

as blackbirds chatter.

Wake up from work

 

Blue tits flit about

in branches before me, a

welcome distraction.

Winter’s tail

 

February days

fill body and mind with a

dark grey foreboding.

Horizon

 

Cranes and chimney stacks

jagged skyline silhouette

with Winter-thin trees.

Let me be

 

Summer daydreams are

rudely interrupted by

the here and the now.

Day end

 

Sky blue turns to gold

to orange to red to black

this winter nightfall.

Fire

 

And I in hades

must gaze in awe at the flames

that will consume me.

Impatient

.

Come Spring and banish

these long nights and impotent 

days. Bring me succour.
