Spring

insects, bees
a distant lawnmower buzz - 
children playing

grass tickles feet
released from winter captivity - 
warm breeze

soft sunlight
through blossom laden branches -
an empty nest

daffodils
heavy scented hyacinths - 
acrid bonfires


Dead Umbrella #1

Washed up jellyfish, 
slowly desiccating. Sun 
takes the sting away.


Dead Umbrella #2

Damp leaves, rust, decay. 
"Do not feed the umbrellas." 
Stern sign on park fence.


Dead Umbrella #3

Like a kilt, flapping
along on dreich London streets - 
traffic cone sentry.
