crystallised windscreen
seaside candyfloss sunrise
goldcrest entertains
city croci in
fairy dairy milk colours
bourneville remembered
bright trumpets glowing
heavenly host carousing
drunk on spring sunshine
wee snow soldier troops
spears uplifted just in case
winter's not away
naked sober trees
seduced by sky's promises
to put their leaves on
green bud daffodils
like tightly furled promises
poised to spring to life
