The world is turning…

While winter seems at its darkest and harshest, buds are growing, seeds are stirring, birds are eyeing up nesting places, and daylight is stretching imperceptibly, day by day: we’re heading straight and fast for spring.

Sleeping Willow

Statue
riding the rolling sky,
still as a swan on a lake,
buds deep-chilled
till time comes to wake.

New Year Cinquain

Zip-wire
Poised, ready
Gleaming, twitching, tantalizing
Brand new ride, awaiting start-time
Thrill
