Sunrise over Stonehenge on the summer solstice...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where did January go?

Bleak stormed nights

shrouded in snow

February breezed in

without a hello

wearing cloak of frost

and refused to go

until marched out

by the April fools

who cast a clout

breaking all the rules

then come what may

June soon came

and played her part

to warm the heart

of birds and bees

and summer

trees

Winter’s Hoar

Hoar frost on a rose.

 

 

 

 

 

No money can her beauty buy,

enchanting all she touches,

virgin white and transient,

the hoar frost kiss the bushes.

 

Spider’s webs of crystal tears,

furry leaves of velvet feathers,

stalagmite grass revering skies,

leidenfrost cloaks of weather.

Jack Frost

bites toes

west winds

redden nose

solid puddles

don’t trip!

fleecy boots

non-slip

woolly  mittens

snuggle fingers

rosy cheeks

breath lingers

icy weather

November blasts

shivering cold

winter lasts

The Hare that came closer...

 

 

 

 

 

Bared earth

fallow fields

ploughed furrows

concrete puddles

frosted peaks

morning hare

runs wild

winter sun

bleached sky

mist hangs

heavy air

winter cloaks

autumn leaves.

The Swallow’s Farewell

You took my dreams;

 

The swallows of my autumn years,

and banished them without a care.

You defiled and destroyed their virgin flight,

ones that remained have migrated to the winter sun.

 

So hopeful and fresh in the youth of their summer state;

but summer soon passed, and I did not see it happen.

The leaves of youth have fallen and…

the sorrow of winter tears cover them in frost.

I still hear their distant cries,

and the smell of their season.

 

I have their memories and the calls of their summer song.

So long departed, so far away, but…

I still feel the warmth of their summer.

Goodbye my Swallow friends, may you find

your dreams on a distant shore.

Dreams that are not mine, but can be lived,

once more…
