Snowdrops, the heralds of spring (poem)

They fight for our spring

Snowdrops, the heralds of spring

Beneath the cold winter ground, the snowdrops start growing,
Long before spring begins, their dark green tips start showing.
Defying those frosty mornings, ignoring all the cold,
Their small tips showing when no other flowers are so bold.

Defying winters grasp upon the land all around,
Shouting out clearly to all that spring will soon be found.
They may face the frost upon them, a snow flurry or two,
But those leaves keep pushing up, as more come into view.

Winter may still be here, but the snowdrops are on their way,
Fighting up through the ground, the snowdrops are here to stay.
Winter must soon surrender, accepting that spring has won,
As more spring flowers follow what the snowdrops have begun.

Daisies and Buttercups (poem)


Small wonders of nature

Daisies and Buttercups

Daisies and buttercups, in the meadows grow,
Small sparkles of gold and white petals on show.
A splendid gathering of meadow flowers,
Swaying in a breeze, dancing in the showers.
Reaching up to the sun on a warm summers day,
The daisies close their eyes, when night is on its way.
The bees buzz around them, their nectar to collect,
The birds seek between them, for insects to detect.
A meadow of wonder, nature’s summer delight,
And on any country walk, a beautiful sight.

Nature’s summer wonders (poem)


The beauty of nature in summer.

Nature’s summer wonders

The sun rolls lazily across our summer sky,
The gardens are putting on their summer show.
Above them, the swifts and swallows are flying high,
While the butterflies dance upon the flowers below.

Roses burst open in colours of yellows, pinks and reds,
Their blooms sway gently from a passing summer breeze.
The Buddleias and the flowers in their flowerbeds,
Are surrendering their pollen to the passing bees.

In the woodlands, the animals are raising their young,
The trees providing the shelter and homes that they need.
Its canopy echoes to the songs the birds have sung,
Its spring blossom slowly changing to autumn seed.

The Woodland in Spring (poem)


The beauty of spring in the woods.

Woodland flowers

The Woodland in Spring

The crocuses and the snowdrops bring forth their colour,
Everywhere white, orange, and purple can be seen.
Bringing a brightness to the woodlands winter pallor,
Bringing to an end, winters shades of lonely green.

The daffodils reach up, unveiling their yellow glory,
Their heads nodding whenever a passing breeze is found.
Such a scattering of colours, showing nature’s spring story
Such is the beauty of wildflowers, growing all around.

On the branches, a touch of blossom’s starting to show,
The promise of new fruits upon the bushes and the trees.
Slowly their petals unfurl, and their flowers start to grow,
The promise of nectar for the butterflies and bees.

The hedgehogs appear and the birds begin their nesting,
The woodland’s preparing for all their young to arrive.
In spring, there is no time for nature to be resting,
For now that spring is here, the woodland has come alive.
