Listening to the rain…
Gullies ring, drains sing,
Streams chorus to leaf-drumming.
Music of the rain.

*****************************
Interminable storms and unceasing rain….happy new year!
Dark, low, winter sky.
The trees sighing and moaning.
The road, two tear tracks.

******************************
Great light, these mid-winter evenings…
Trees scratch inky lines
on a blotting paper sky.
Ink blots, the crow flock.
(15/01/16)
*******************************
More – or continuous – storms, thankful to be in the shelter of the trees…
Grizzled old oak trees
rake the storm with stretched talons.
Tearing it to shreds.

********************************
Don’t mess with the King of the Birds…
A wren gives out yards,
scolds any – all trespassers.
Berates everyone.
