January

January


Nature's taking winters rest
often scenic smartly dressed.
A veil of snow, still, calm,
branches laden a weighty balm.

A pigeon flaps disturbing peace,
agitated, a small caprice.
Clods of snow hit the ground
the copse echoes a thudding sound.

Not that many birds around
a blackbird its regular round.
The magpie a haughty cavalier
it always seems in good cheer.

Great tits come and go
usually a communal show.
A dreadful rainy sodden year
just a hint that spring is near.

My clematis and only evergreen
a truly heartening scene.
By Christmas buds began to grow
now tiny purple petals show.
