This month I have mainly been working (the paid variety) managing those about to take GCSE and A levels, gardening and trying to keep up with the challenge of writing a poem a day, among other things…. there’s a major garden project going on and normal life to keep up with…. a woman’s work is never done.
The blossoms are suffering from the heavy rains and high winds….
Wet, windy weather
clusters of blossom blown down –
fragile button-holes
girls in dancing clothes
pick up the battered blossoms
to put in their hair
the cat, exhausted
from chasing whirlwind petals
lazily stretches

Now I see the photo competition is ‘growing’ I shall be getting the camera out in the next few days, given that we get some good light…..
