A Teacup Full of Stories

Hi there! This is a little poem I wrote this afternoon about Spring (despite the fact that snow’s forecast at the weekend). I hope you enjoy!

There’s a lightness in the air;

And a deep, damp,

Heaviness of earthy things;

The scent of rain on a softly fierce breeze,

And of dark, bright, living things.

There are green shoots by the path –

If you look closely, there are

Blossoms beginning to bud

On the apple trees.

The sky is a thousand shades brighter

Than it was before, and the sunlight

Is golden.
