Painted sky
the faded pinks 
of plum blossoms

Lines

morning sun 
yet the sparrows peck
at frozen puddles

Lines

heavy rain 
twisting the river bend 
a kingfisher 

Lines

spring breeze 
a sudden downpour released
cherry blossoms

across the beck
willowherb seeds 
on autumn wind

wild barley
balances 

a drop of rain

Hawthorn hedge
deep in darkness
Dunnocks chirp
