Soft rain is falling
Pink honeysuckle rises
Looks like crocuses
Growing on shed roof
It was “suitable for shade”
But it climbed over
Until it found sun.
The wisteria has moved
To a tree next door.
I can see upstairs
How it drapes and dangles from
A young rowan tree.
The apple blossom
I’ve not noticed it again
But I saw the wren.
The wren is near now
Hides in weigelia
With its wren babies.
My friend saw a thrush
We’ve not seen one here lately.
Only the blackbirds.
