Storm Agnes…
Wind howls ’round the house,
rattling doors, shaking windows.
Trying to get in.

***************************
The wind has a rhythm…
Wind rattles dry leaves
Fuchsia ballerina twirl
Brambles sway in time
(22/09/23)
***************************
Definite hints of Autumn…
The first gale arrives.
Checks the chores to be performed.
Starts with leaf-plucking
(15/09/23)
***************************
Season changing…
Planning their journey,
Swallows gather to chatter.
The lines are buzzing.
(08/09/23)
***************************
Meanwhile, out on the patio…
No sign of the ants.
The slabs, still warm, are empty.
Just a dragonfly.
