Weather<\/p>\n

Hill streams roar white noise.
\nEach lip a boiling caulron.
\nBirds sing undaunted.<\/p>\n

The rain mists in, low.
\nHilltop, trees, sky coalesce.
\nThe World disappears.<\/p>\n

Finally, Spring is here and there’s a great burgeoning and budding; newly active birds; and in the woods…<\/em><\/p>\n

Waking<\/p>\n

Furtive scurrying.
\nRustling in the undergrowth.
\nThe woods are alive!<\/p>\n

Spring is slow to appear this year, with this unusually cold spell we’ve been having; hard frosts and snow in may places, still.But, inevitably, signs are beginning to emerge: frog spawn and tiny, scarlet bud son the fuschia…<\/em><\/p>\n

Springing<\/p>\n

Colour of dried blood,
\nfuschia stems leak blood-red beads;
\ntransfusing new life.<\/p>\n
