Springtime
The land warms up in early spring
When the birds seek mates and start to sing.
Acid-green leaves erupt into view
With fresh spring colours in lemony hues.

The Skylark Returns
The Skylark Returns
Spring has arrived with warming air,
The rain has ceased and the sky is clear.
A gentle breeze is swirling around,
As I hear a familiar distant sound.
Relaxing now, a pleasant surprise!
The lark has returned over the rise.
This tiny brown bird, obscure to see,
Filling the air with a song, so free.
He flies up high and sings his tune,
He glides to the moor but, all too soon.
His rivals take off and are rising high,
A splendid chorus as the minutes pass by…

The Dipper
The Dipper
Frothy rapids flow
As he dips and dives beneath
Searching for his prey

Snowdrops
Luminous white light
glows under the dappled shade
a promise of spring
