Such heavy downpour
Rain strikes flower petals
And scatters them
Over the koi pond

I remember the Y shaped wands
Fresh cut from green hazel trees
The thumb felt, tongue bent tension
As we sought divined waters

the faithful attend their crosses
with hidden dreams of revolution

My neighbour’s dog, Max
A solitary young hound
Famous in a local sense
Fears the postman

The neighbour’s farmyard
Bright light in the cattle shed
All night long it shines
Insomniac cows

In her Staydry coat
Ignoring the lashing rain
She walks her two soggy dogs
Canines look miserable

Yet again, drama
Magpies building their wild nest
In the same tree as pigeons
This will not end well

View from kitchen window
The sun on the grey hills
Now that the year has turned
Sets a smidge further west

Christmas morning frost
And all the trees are Merry
Red robins released from cards
Button their feather waistcoats
