-o0o-

early morning frost

leading her horse from the stable

their breaths mingle

-o0o-

sparkling with dewdrops

the cobweb's broken strands hang

from the garden gate

-o0o-

in from the garden

with a bunch of daffodils -

a handful of summer

-o0o-

the silver willow

damaged in last winter's storm 

slightly lopsided

-o0o-

 skint knee

the dog licks studiously -

then kisses her tears

Composed by LESLEY  Sept.1987

-o0o-

at the barrier

turning to go, one last wave - 

the sky darkens

-o0o-

now then, let's go out / to enjoy the snow ... until / I slip and fall
