The rambler and the mutt

the one-fold love

of the mutt for his rambler –

thicker than cardboard

 

 

Sounds of the ocean

a surge crashes

only to slowly withdraw

and to charge afresh

The quiet of winter

the forest dozes

winter gently tucks it in

with a snow blanket

 

Happy procrastinator

procrastination

for once brings out a smile –

sprouting Christmas tree

Winter walk

a clear winter dawn

a dull lawn wakes up glinting –

time for a crisp walk

A hazy finch

a hazy finch cheers

for the sun – the morning mist

clings to the window

The first wink of spring!

they grope the cold

slowly before opening –

the willow’s catkins

 

Colours

colours fade

autumn fleds the branches –

before the first snow

Thinking of summer

the dandelions

close down their lights for the night –

the meadow turns green

The old swing

I couldn’t find a picture of an overgrown swing, so here’s one in better days. (from freeimages)

ivy ventures
ever higher up the ropes
of the old swing
