sparrows
crowd the buddleia
bluetits fly off

blackbird sends a song
through the bathroom window
front stoop crocuses

potted crocus
brighten the doorstep
white clouds

sunshine
through the curtain gap
a pigeon's song

bluetits wait for sparrows
to leave the bird table
starlings queue-jump

magpie
at the top of the tallest tree
plastic bag

overnight rain
brings dreams of bumpy seas
blunt tulip torpedoes

rain patters
ripples on the lake
spread and join

wind spinner
scatters garden sunshine
blue tit

Payne's grey clouds
bring a re turn to the cold
the dog whines

morning sun
gives the illusion of warmth
still, quiet air

last dry leaves
stripped from the garden
snowdrops

pigeon
squeezed into the birdtable
sparrows chitter

London pigeons
eclipsed by bells and sirens
oratory performance

golden sunlight
edges bare willow branches
golden bark

shivering trees
a relentless wind
rubbish flies along

a dog fox
trots along the midnight street
the neighbour's cat

distant hills
capped with crisp snow
teasels

sunshine
gilds the tops of trees
magpie wings

cold, sharp air
fills his morning lungs
cigarette smoke
