Snowfall

Expect
heavy snowfall
forecasters tell us.
So far no sign.
Anticipation.

Here and There

Here
and there
early blooms shine
golden along the roadside.
Daffodils.

Rarity Value

A Double Elfje…

Tricycle
takes up
more road space
than a bicycle does
but...

Motorists
seem to
be more tolerant.
Perhaps due to rarity
value!

Glider

Overhead,
circling round,
riding the thermals
like a small glider.
Buzzard.

Display

Bright
red display
bringing colourful delight
in a glass jug.
Tulips.

Ice and Snow

Slowly
ice melts
and snow retreats
as the barometer rises.
Thaw.

Overnight

Silently,
ground covering
blanket fell overnight,
creating a winter wonderland.
Snow.
______________________________________

Apart from a brief flurry before Christmas, that didn’t settle as the ground was too wet and soon returned to rain, this is the first snow we have had this winter. I’m so glad to see it, such a necessary part of winter. Already some has melted in the weak sunshine but we may get some more later today or again overnight.

Wrapped

Wrapped
in several
thermal layers, out
in cold, fresh air.
Cycling.

Overhead

Grey,
rushing overhead,
in a hurry
to be somewhere else;
clouds.

Icy

Icy
patterns on
my shed windows.
A visit from Jack
Frost.
