Janey ...

Winter-sun blind,

I

negotiate the way

with

hope and gratitude

Helen...

Fallen maple leaves.

Thousands of tiny gold hands 

applaud November

Helen...

 Blencathra. Morning’s

Woolly clouds pulled down over 

Your Saddleback ears.

Janey ...

A beauteous day -

'travel forth without my cloak'

still seems unwise though 😊

Janey...

On these wildest days

the summer calm seems a dream,

the longing for rain...

Helen...

Damp shoes, creeping cold,

Sky heavy and white with rain,

Rinsing coloured leaves.

Janey...

The dry ditch awakes

as lonely puddles lengthen,

reflecting

shadows

(from Alistair 😊)

Helen...

First frosts of autumn 

Come gently, silvering grass,

Sharpening blue air.

Janey...

A friendship restored,

misunderstandings redeemed - 

suddenly sunshine 💛

Helen...

Riverside cafe:

People talk, drink coffee while

The leaves are turning.

Janey...

Icy north winds

give way to wild westerlies -

Oh, 

Aberystwyth 💙

Helen...

Caught between seasons

Sun still warm on our backs but

Wind whispers of cold.

Janey...

Sun, October gold,

nasturtiums and pink fuschia 

complete my palette

Helen...

Dawn’s transforming light

Turns the village red and gold

And then melts away.
