What’s another year?
We make too much of birthdays –

Haiku: ‘Striding Sun’
Stride northward, O Sun
Fill our hearts with hope and light
A greater harvest

Poem: ‘Take Heed’
This morning I heard the blackbird’s song,
a sound of hope, that is spring on its way.
Now I listen to the sounds of nature,
look for significant shapes in the sky,
rather than heed the rumour and ruse,
shenanigans of the twisted minds of men
