Sparrows Squabble

Posted on 17 May 202017 May 2020 by admin

Sparrow squabble, Flex and fight, Sounding my call to prayer. It’s chillier today The honeysuckle sprawls it’s canopy above me. The neighbours shout greetings. The foxgloves buds gently part, hinting at the pinkness they promise And the strawberries hold their first fruits high above a sea of marjoram. The sun, still trying to peep through, Read more about Sparrows Squabble[…]

The dance of light and Shadow

The Dance of Light and Shadow Releasing my grip and falling back into the flow I see the black cat curled in the dappled shade.

Branches bend and bow, bouncing Read more about The dance of light and Shadow[…]

Thunder

A snow of scatterseed settles in a fleecy blanket,A late frost is anticipated. The thunder rolls and rumbles. Growling and cracking as it gets closer. The swallows pile off en masseWill whittles his pipe. Gareth and Ben thin the vegetable seedlings Sheep bleet and baa. The air quivers in anticipation But still the dandelion seeds float Read more about Thunder[…]

The poem today A tawny owl roosts in a nearby garden. Swifts flash and glimmer as they chase each other across the sky, Clematis and Veronica bloom,Honeysuckle and Elderflower bud. Hawkbit stems stand tall amid grasses already going to seed.And the branches of the Ash tree, outstretched in wild abandon, Each tip raised up toward Read more about Take me I’m yours[…]

Late Spring

Posted on 2 May 20209 May 2020 by admin

Monday – late Spring The moon slides into darkness, meteors shower. I settle into stillness, slowing down to the speed of sound. Able to hear and see the world around,able to notice the colours of a fishes eyelids. The still bare branches of the Ash trees clack gently against each other,wood on wood in the wind.Their hearts wrapped in Read more about Late Spring[…]
