January Joy 10

How joyful it is to see
new buds swelling
on my neighbour’s Magnolia tree.

January Skies

Christmas cheer
packed away for another year.
Dull and drear
January skies appear.

Market

January chill.
Local market day, I buy
an extra jumper.

I seem to have got out of sequence with my holiday stones. This one should have been posted before ‘A Good Day’ which appeared on 28th January!

The Birds Sing

Barely the middle of January
and the birds sing of Spring.
