Flowers unfolding
From early morning sunshine
Changing into spring
Old Walls
For the WPC: Walls
Orange Sky
O sun streak through
Alabaster days
Banish weak torment
Of the morning haze
Glisten into the sea
Adorn the mighty waves
Flee the blinding mists
Brighten with golden rays
Bring forth the spirit
Of dawn full of praise
Sing from dismal slumber
Out of this dark phase
For WPC: Orange

Wren
Haiku
Musical wren sings
Sings as it flutters its wings
What beauty it brings

113 Days till Summer
In January we had a sunny day but the wind was ice cold. I ventured out to take photos from the coast. This island with its ruined castle is magical on clear days. Wrapped up I took some photos and the reward was a hint of sun, a reminder of summer on its way, just 113 days.
Future Anxiety
A path, a continual
Fear, willing to hope
A daily ritual
Of being able to cope
Future visions to wait
New plans to withhold
The old, the same state
The constant same old
The picture, a dream
To feel self esteem
Not wanting to scream
No bird flying high
High flying to the sky
……..Just scraping on by

Landscape
A squirrel
Leaps abound
Shaken leaves downed
Pine needles found
Trodden into the ground
Foliage
And wood
Mache into mud
Soft under foot
Where tractor wheels cut
Rustling
Of debris
Skyward and see
Birds fly free
Rhythm of land, of tree

Ode to a Medal
A Nurse’s Medal Kept within a Drawer…….
Kept safe, an object
Memories connect
Thoughts link and affect
Held within the mind
And in this confined
Emblem t’was assigned
You’re there to remind
If needed to find
A presence of mind
A symbol sacred
Achievement stated
Calling……created
