On a nasal delight

chopped an old oak log
splitting wood released its years
scent of centuries

Creak

On standing in a wood

monotone grey sky
nothing dramatic, rain falls
listen, the trees creak

ah!

On a Winter’s pleasure

grey, bleak weather day
hunched, bare boughed trees endure
ah, this cup of tea!

Golden

On unexpected beauty

each one a sunbeam
in streets full of traffic’s roar
golden ginkgo trees

Neat

On next year’s compost

back yard full of leaves
neatly gathered in corners
an obliging breeze

(I spoke too soon!)

On the Big City

Traffic, aching feet
London streets not paved with gold
Tree on a roof top
