Cold March Morning. (Pictures and Poem)..

 
Cold clear day,

Neither Spring nor Winter;

Matchwood, ash and embers

Spread like memories on melting snow

Don`t Self Destruct. (Images)

 

Early March Weather. Poem With Paintings. (Revised).

Is this rain or snow falling?

A dirty grey dampness descends from the clouds

Lazily drifting into my face,

A cold veil through which I peer

To try to make out the contours of the streets,

The bare trees that overhang broken city pavements.

People walk slowly from house to shop,

Then back again from shop to chilly semi.

They wear such thick bundles of drab winter clothing

They look like mobile parcels made from dark plastic 

Or packets of unwashed wool.

My clothing is no better, but I am noticing as I walk

The small humps of sticky buds breaking the skin of branches,

And a solitary daffodil upright beside a wall.

Captive Tree.(Newley Completed Poem). Poem with Picture.

Captive tree

With outstretched branches

Desperately Pleading

                              Pleading

Pleading 

To be set free from the manicured park

Back into wild 

                         wild

                                  woods

Far from the curfew gates

And the rows of tidy houses.

But passers by don`t see her gestures

Nor heed the calls of her still quiet voice

Uplifted on the wind.

Her stillness means she is just a thing,

An object to be climbed, 

An ornament to be looked at,

Or chisel an obscenity into.

Trevor John Karsavin Potter.
