Stopping by the blossom on a Spring day
Late Spring??
Green leaf shoots
On a grey tree
??
Spring dress
Reaching up to gently cup
The blossom bud
??
Wind and rain
A drenched cherry tree
On a pink carpet
??
Go your way my love
A billion blossom petals
Float in a puddle

Turning time to work
The pool water
Memory of winter
Promise of spring
Soft spring
Pearled morning dew shines
The fresh worm piles
A few pink blossoms
Their summer frocks
The rising sap
Turning into spring
The worms are making hills
In the morning dew
On the instep
A small blue swallow tattoo
Heading north
Spring is here
Two ducks in the bathing pond
Only have eyes for you
Gnarls Barkley
The relief on the weathered skin
Of an old oak tree

Sunday in and around Clapham Common, London
Spring football
The touchline between players
And a girl’s smile
The pitted road
Washed by Spring rain
Sunlight and shadow
Spring morning
Peeling back the sheets
On the old billboard
Contemplating the promise of daffodils
First come the snowdrops and crocuses and then the yellow flowers. Daffodils and Forsythia brave the end of winter while the Magnolia buds swell with anticipation. These are a few haiku attempts around this theme:
Huddled together
the bitter winter wind
Clumping daffodils
End of winter
A pale green and yellow
Beneath bare trees
After snowdrops
So comes the daffodils
The changing lights
Winter’s journey
Snowdrops nod lazily
In a chill breeze
Biding time
The magnolia buds arrested
In a bitter snap
A gliding swan
Watching the magnolia buds
Beneath the surface
Waiting on the cusp
Of winter and spring
The point of a daffodil
Winter’s spring
Rising in no man’s land
The young daffodil
A winter’s bed
The daffodil emerges from the mud
Wrapt in pale green
Cold grey sky
Out of a long brown winter
The yellow
