They Sat on the Beach

They sat on the beach
Watching the tide coming in
With frost on the sand
____________________________
Yes. This is the voice of experience!

Shy Cotyledons

Shy cotyledons
Peeking bravely through the soil.
Is it springtime yet?

Reluctant tree buds
Poke noses into cold air
Rather stay in bed

Put pen to paper.
It’s the only solution
To a writer’s block.

I’m not really sure
Whether I prefer the snow
Or subsequent mud

Rain sprinkling the grass
With delicate precision
Has an icy touch

Beautiful sunshine.
Harbinger of warm weather.
But still frosty nights.

Birdsong on my right,
She snores gently on my left.
Beautiful music.

I’m concentrating

On getting enough to eat

Before winter comes

Yes. This was taken in the summer/autumn, and it refers to those seasons. But, then, winter is just about over.

Grey, overcast sky
Beckoning daytime darkness
And more rain to come
