After many years –
Mostly black untrusting cat ~
At last purrs for me.

After many years –
Mostly black untrusting cat ~
At last purrs for me.
Lockdown garden fleurs –
Swaying gently in the breeze ~
Hard to photograph.
Marking a milestone –
One year working from my shed ~
Sid hasn’t noticed.
Growing impatient –
Things moving slowly this year ~
The first daffodil.
Fritillaria –
Poking its head up for Spring ~
Crown Imperial.
Lemon tree in bloom –
A bit early for the bees ~
Pollinate with brush.
Feast of St. Brigid –
Make her cross with the wrong reeds ~
A minor penance.
New hyacinth blooms –
Filling the room with their scent ~
Ignoring the rain.
Missing spectacles –
Turn up weeks later, mangled ~
With kitty teeth marks…
Bright frosty morning –
Halve an apple for blackbird ~
Precise little pecks.
