Brrr, winter’s here…
Frost hides in tree-shade,
makes white shadows, evading
low sun’s greening touch.

***************************
Even here…
A blackbird couple,
sitting in an orange tree,
Incongruously.
(17/11/17)
****************************
A different world…
Orange trees’ dense shade,
blue-smoke sardine aromas,
bright screech of parrots
(10/11/17)
*****************************
Finally, after weeks of storm, calm, stillness, dry days…
A terrible calm.
The only sound the tinkle
of dry leaves falling.
