View from kitchen window
The sun on the grey hills
Now that the year has turned

Seasonal storm beach
Stretching and tearing
Wild waters
White waves

Tomorrow’s flat calm
Tempts and delights
Constantly changing
Capricious mistress

Cold garden, wild winter’s day
No comfort for crows

looking out

someone looking in

Heavy rain clearing the snow
A patch of snowdrops
