Now gone
the white snowdrops
Summer blossoms replace
the yellow daffodils of Spring
now brown

Early Summer
#Tanka Tuesday
By A Window Viewed
Viewing
bright Summer scenes
towards the Isles’ Solent port,
nodding to the fair passers by,
charming.
Padre
I have tried to capture the feel of the painting and reflect the times reflected in its composition as well.
Of August Late
Late August days short
Nights now cooling, closing in
Dawn chorus delayed
Padre
The Season
Arriving early
making ready for the throng
ever vigilant
lifeguards face the summer rush
and dream of autumn breezes
Padre
Tightly Shut
Idle
words seem to leak
from thoughtless mouths agape.
Yet, lips kept tightly shut convey
wisdom.
Padre
Not Again!
Eagle
with outstretched wings
so deliberately
perching upon my aching head,
please go!
Padre
Grey
the dull median
colour pallet’s compromise
neither black nor white
vague in its neutrality
mysterious shade of grey
Padre
The Turtle
sandy shores behind
instinctively seaward bound
objective unclear
great distances to travel
until the beach to return
Padre
Work to Play
Labour
in gainful toil,
your coffers to enrich,
that when the weekend at last comes:
leisure.
Padre
Sun-kissed Anew
vernal
the birthing season of the year
emerging emerald
sun-kissed, refreshed
anew
