Spring

twitching noses 
in tussocks
      of awakened primroses

rummaging on hazel boles
hibernating mammals 
poke from the holes

leafless hedgerows 
       where buds now form 
a carpet of white corm
Badgers forage 
       for food near their sett
 renewing
 their bracken scented couchette

Sparrow and robin 
            pair off in twos 
as lengthening days 
          come into view.
aconite open in rays of sun
 below yellow catkins 
          with tails fine spun.

Osier shoots
      in green corn camomile
 as Spring mornings 
                                begin to smile.
