Sit far from the house –
Deep down in my book, hedges ~
Thrum of my sparrows.

Sit far from the house –
Deep down in my book, hedges ~
Thrum of my sparrows.
Old Mahonia –
Yellow racemes catch my eye ~
Bumblebee’s also.
Assess storm impact –
Sheet of ivy torn from wall ~
Wind at work for me.
Deeds, words, art, garden –
Pottering, safely, at home ~
Civilisation.
Temperature drop –
Last chance for the late bloomers ~
Oi! Canna lily!
Passing bird feeder –
Something small drops and scurries ~
Bonbon might have friends.
Green watering can –
Half full so put a stick in ~
For Bonbon the mouse.
Old bamboo thicket –
Creating Komorebi ~
Forms a boundary.
Long grass frames my path –
Caressing me as I pass ~
Not so nice when wet.
Post rain petrichor –
The garden is drinking deep ~
Lilies battered though.
