Sights and Sounds of spring

The soar of a bird

Light flashing off his underwings

Glistening in sunlit flight

As it dips and swoops

From tree to chimneypot

Majestic to behold

The flap of its wings a beautiful sound

The hum of a drill

Hands busily making new

On Slates and ridge tiles

After winter’s fierce frolicking

New mown lawn scents float in the air

The grass cutters friend

Happy it’s spring again

Sun caresses face and arms

Sky in a dress of satin blue

Hemmed in frills of wispy cloud

Hold out the promise of

Renewed depleted energies
