Winter melts
&seeps
deep below
permeates
cathedrals with snow
in spate
nature's blood
in flood
in moorland
gorse
new springs
become
a tumbling
source
a babbling burn
in
feathered
ferns
to riverine
unseen
a stream
of
freshwater
clean
in rivers
soil silts
against
sloping banks &
the current slows
into
eddys
where fat chubb doze
deeper waters
then
running free
winding slowly
to
the sea

hedgerows greenup-
nature's pastiche
awakens from winter sleep.
Quiet greets the Spring morn,
a shaft of light diffuses night
snow melts slowly-
a trickle,unseen,runs free
begins a new spring
#
A babbling burn ,riverine unseen,
a stream of freshwater silts sloping banks
the current slows to-
eddys, where fat chubb doze.
Quiet greets the Spring morn,
a shaft of light
diffuses night into -
a dawn chorus.
Amid the eerie dayspring light
yesterday's memories glow so bright
#
blossoms a welcome
springtime emblem-
the foretast of fruitage
to come
inspired by Ricks contest theme
Winter melts and seeps deep below,
permeates cathedrals with snow,then
in spate,nature's blood in flood .
A babbling burn in feathered ferns
to riverine unseen,a stream of
freshwater clean.
In rivers soil silts against sloping banks
the current slows into eddys,
where fat chubb doze,
deep waters flow ,below
Winter melts and seeps deep below,permeates cathedrals with snow,in spate
nature's blood in flood .In moorland gorse new springs become a tumbling
source.A babbling burn in feathered ferns to riverine unseen,a stream of
freshwater clean.In rivers soil silts against sloping banks and the current slows
into eddys, where fat chubb doze.Deeper waters then running free,winding slowly
to the sea.
