The Seasons Wait

The wind blows swiftly
The leaves fall quick
The fox runs fast
Autumn is here at last 

The starlings fly away
The geese get fat

White horses run over the rising sea
The rain comes down hard and fast

The leaves are gone
The snow is here
The coal is burning
The winter is here

Its mid winter now

Christmas at Last

Time for presents

Sea Horses

The sea spray bounced upon the sandy shore
dribbling lightly down the sand.
Little breakers beat upon the shore
the sun goes down the moon comes up
glistening on the shore.

The tide does turn.
The wind does change.
The sea does swell.

The sea now breaks against the shore
The crest of waves like white horses
racing to the shore.
The wind rises the water races.
Deep below the ground gives way

Up surges the water in a fit of rage
The waves grow stronger
against the sea wall
The horses become stallions
raging against the sea wall.

Might hooves doth batter the sea wall
High and higher they kick
Over the top of the wall the horses jump
fighting to be free.

Dawn arrives the moon settles
The wind still blows and the sea withdraws
The horse still kicking go out to sea
Another night and we will be free.

The Humble Bumble Bee

The humble bumble bee
Busy busy bee
Bzzzz to there

Head stuck in the long one
Pollen and nectar to be found

Daffodils are good plenty of room
Honeysuckle’s best need a spoon
Bzzzz to the blossom on the tree
Pollen and nectar to be found

Bzzzz back to the hive
Through the hole into the combs
Past  mother my  Queen

Have quick snack then of we go.
Pollen and nectar to be found

Watch out for the ants the moths to
Don’t want to be caught out

Buzzzz to the sunflower full of food

Buzzzz back to the hive
Time to group hug
ZZZZZ ZZZ til spring and summer

The humble bubble bee
Busy busy bee
Bzzzz to there

Unknown rose

IT is the picture of an English rose

It’s skin as fine as a silk

The  smell so fragrant and bright

what is that rose.

I know not her name, that rose

She is so fine and bright

Her flesh is silk beyond compare

How long before,

she becomes withered and dry

I could bear to see her nought but fair

I captured her image so she could not fade and die

I love that rose so sweet and pretty

Now she’s all mine
