Yes, there’s beauty in winter
I’ll give you that
But, no brainer given the choice
As between both of these
Quite opposed to the freeze
it’s the summer in which I rejoice

Nature’s hand came calling
in our garden yesterday
Left little diamond clusters
for us as if to say
This was its way of saying
that there’s beauty everywhere
and if we just look around us
we will find it waiting there

I’m a hagstone wizard
‘cos I’ve got lots of those
collected and found on the beach
As not a visit is spared
before one is paired
to the others I have in my reach
I have hagstones on chains
which I’ve hung from the trees
in my garden out there in the sun
and others on show
where they bring a warm glow
as I cherish them every one

Beneath the vivid leafy green
this time of year at Kew
Beside the Thames just sitting
early morning with a view
I have a little time to spare
so I’ll sit for here for a while
and write about this lovely place
Sufficient to beguile

I’m bold and I’m gorgeous
Bright in the sun
Pink, I am all about
life that’s begun
And I have no comparison
for tears or a smile
As you’ll not see such beauty
again for a while

I lay as soft carpet
pink where I fall
Whilst above me all turns to green
My task it is over
as with beauty I fade
leaving growth wherever I’ve been

The breeze has blown
all the pink to the ground
from the blossom up there in the tree
Like a carpet it lies
with a hint of surprise
which is very appealing to me

in the sunshine today
Quite close to the river
down Old Shoreham way

growing wildly there
And yes, I know that they are weeds

We found her in a sale
last year in quite a state
jaded and quite tired
and for planting, somewhat late
But this year our blue Veronica
her beauty to the fore
has grown and spread vivacious
to abundance here once more

I wrap up warm
against the cold
I feel it now
I’m getting old
There’s white on
everything around
The air is crystal
n’er a sound.

They said there’d be snow
Well, its cold enough
and there’s frost over all every day
But the sea air down here
on these southern shores
always seems to get well in the way
Yes, there have been falls
which have settled for days
in the past I remember quite well
But it’s still quite a rarity
for us in these parts
when snow of the settling kind fell

Sitting on the silky sand enjoying the afternoon,
Watching the sun set over the mystic horizon of the Atlantic,

In fields of bright red
Rubies like treasures lie
Poppies in the sun
A blanket of red
Autumn from the many trees
Rubies on the ground
The red in the breeze
Falling down like crimson snow
Rubies to the wind

A patch of wild flowers growing
in the churchyard yesterday
Reminded me that summer
wasn’t all that far away
And yes, I know it’s over
by the chill that’s in the air
Felt now come the mornings
seen by coats worn everywhere

Sea of blue
You’re just like a friend I knew
Oft I came

That friend knew how to make me smile

through the leaves
dances underneath

And with its movement
so do I

The day was full of sunshine
as we headed out, day three
of our walks on hills of Sussex
my brother Dave and me
This time to Ditchling Beacon
climbing chalky paths and hill
then into shady valleys
where the air was calm and still

Every moment gives a gift
An opportunity to see
A yellow butterfly lands
On the pool deck to give
The daughter a smile
She seemed to have lost.
Yellow Butterfly (for Emma)

It was our neighbor’s dogwood tree
That prettified our lawn
And made us proud that we lived there
When Spring said there’s no need to care
The Winter has long gone.

Thought we’d seen the last of it
in the sunshine yesterday
So little did we spare a thought
for more snow on the way
And yet first thing this morning
another blanket on the ground
white replacing yellow
with snowfall all around

Her midriff is a rumba, she skims the dance club’s lights, flitty beetle
with a hard shell and the taste of vegemite,
and the musk of a jaguar; of all these people crammed here
she has the strongest bite.
