The warm hearth

The fire crackles and spits
Orange flames lick and dance
All is well with the world

Squirrel's journey

Scamper, scamper, scamper
A wave of grey bounds across the road
It's grey tail follows it's body's trajectory
Quick, quick little squirrel a car is coming!

Change

Despite our best intentions and resolutions
It is difficult to change
When our feet urge us down familiar and well- trodden paths

Winter's morning

Jack frost did a merry dance all over our garden while we slept
Covering everything in a blanket of white
It crunches underfoot
Sparkling and glistening like diamonds when the sun catches it

Icy Walk

A satisfying crunch
Icy puddle under wellied foot
Cracking and splintering
Sending icy shards skidding out in front

M&S Sale

A row of grey-haired gentlemen sit
Patiently
As their wives scrummage around for bargains

A good day for ducks

The day struggles to get light
Rain pounds outside
Making rivers of the road
