Small Poems

Regards from your friend

Sign off with hugs and kisses

XOXOX

Sun creeps through curtains

Beneath warm cosy blankets

Sleepers slowly wake

Unfurling colours

Of flowers newly blooming

Petals soft and sweet

Rain recently cleared

Scent of damp earth fills the air

Worms have come to life

One step then the next

Walk along a winding road

Marking your progress

As the day goes on

The sun creeps slowly downwards

Bathing the world gold

I knock back cobwebs

But the persistent spider

Spins its web again

Busy buzzing bees

To and from the hive they go

Pollen to collect

Shoots of bright new leaves

On the weeping willow's boughs

Swaying in the breeze

As the years pass

Pencil marks scratched up the wall

Marking how we grow

Clinging to grass blades

As the dawn sun encroaches

Dew drops are glistening

Sitting by the pond

At the sunny start of spring

Watching for ducklings

Now the day is done

Crawl under the warm covers

In the quiet dark

Hot and heavy air

Waiting for a summer storm

As grey clouds roll in

See a distant swan

Gliding across the water

Neck arched gracefully

Embers burning low

Smoulder in the fireplace

Soon there's only ash
