NATURE STUDY MOMENTS

Pale brimstone emerge on days windblown hover flower to flower ducking Spring's sudden shower; Common butterflies so blue each season,two generations new, small heath,argus,marbled white and speckled brown,so slow in flight; Winter's caterpillars green and small fragile miracles,to enthrall.No breeze tonight Trees pose statuesque Flowers icily still Time slows to a stop Grasses stand to attention's call Thought holds on pause Air has that feel of fall.Once,summer green Then,autumn gold Bedecked the ancient tree- Now,in silhouette,laid bare Mistletoed in winter frieze; Flurries of snow,fine & dry On its branches lie White stars,scurry and shift In piles of patterned drifts.
