patches of sunlight

among the tops

of forest shaded trees

the pale undersides
of oak leaves-
storm winds

leaves filter
the morning mist -
listen

or

listen as
leaves filter
morning mist

casting nets
on woodland paths -
high noon

last years
sapling unzipping
her corset

two bluetits
on a sunlit twig
for best effect

March blossom
on the cherry's
sunward side

white on blue
in high bare branches -
tesco bag

the long shadows
of two bicycles -
rippling the winter hedgerow

fourteen yellow leaves
the bare
tree's crown

drab autumn hedgerow
marbled with
green ivy

golden coins
at the tree's base
an unexpected windfall

the beeches
trembling leaves
clinging to summer

horizontal trunk
and vertical branches -
square roots

all the trees
bend to point
the wind's way

ancient treetops
and younger saplings
directing the wind

beyond the
flexing treetops
a sunlit hillside

late July
the chestnut's
brown-edged leaves

a sapling
in the bell tower -
church growth

a motionless willow
under heavy skies -
crashing thunder
