Tomorrow brings a big change,
Good times lay ahead.

Rain falls from black clouds,
Trees bend over in the wind,
Dismal summer day.

Spring Again

Cold and shivering,
Temperature has fallen,
Feels like spring again.

Rain Drops

Rain water drips down,
Falling from the wet tree leaves,
Splashing on the ground.

Sestina for a Summers Day

In the burning heat of day,
Almost too hot to move,
You can barely hear a sound,
Except for tweeting birds,
Sitting high up in the trees,
These summer days we love.

The air filled with natures love,
Right from the break of day,
Blowing through the watching trees,
And gently makes them move,
They protect the nesting birds,
Keeping them safe and sound.

A cat lays curled up sound,
Asleep, dreaming of its love,
Of trying to catch the birds,
But dream is all it does this day,
Too warm and tired to move,
It takes shade under the trees.

Leaves disturbed upon the trees,
And make a rustling sound,
A squirrel makes a darting move,
As it fulfils its love,
Of gathering nuts all day,
And spooks some nearby birds.

Upwards fly some startled birds,
Soaring above the trees,
This brief chaos breaks the day,
Now awake from all the sound,
To chase, the cat would love,
A glancing look its only move.

It sees them as they swiftly move,
Observing all the birds,
This time sleep its only love,
As they land back in the trees,
Once again a peaceful sound,
Returns back to the day.

As the leaves move on the trees,
And the birds sing merry sound,
We love this sunny day.

Rush Hour

People rushing by,
Cars queuing along the road,
Rush hour time again.

Sitting outside in sunshine,
Peaceful and quiet.

Summer has disappeared,
The Sun is hiding.

A multi-coloured rainbow,
Shines in the sunlight.

Moving Shadows

The wind blows the trees,
The sunlight creates shadows,
Dark and moving shapes.

Pond Life

Fish swim to and fro,
A frog sits on a lilly,
Pond is full of life.

Gathering Storm

Calm before the storm,
Black clouds loom in the distance,
Gathering in strength.

Blossom

Blossom all around,
Falling like snowflakes from trees,
White blanket on ground.

Watch them float around,
Lit up by rays of sunlight,
Dust motes dance in air.

Tomato seeds are sprouting,
Growing fruit and veg.
