January 2012

Walking through a clear-fell mess of destruction in nearby woods.

Rippling, cloud-filled pools,
Neat-stacked logs amid chaos.
Wren reclaims his turf.

************

First hints of Spring.

Blackbird song begins.
Spring perks up tired verges with
celandine bouquets.

When you do get the occasional blast of sunshine, it’s almost shocking – and very beautiful.

The low sun transforms:
The rushes, needles of light;
Pools, blinding mirrors.

************
Water, water everywhere…

Faded hillside shines.
All around are water sounds.
Frighted frog dives.
