The End of Colour

This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour

Sweet April showers do spring May flowers” Thomas Tusser

Spring is finally here (Weekly Photo Breakdown) 

Down by the Pier

At the end of a really long pier
There is a price in the form of a beer

What?

Well, it’s warm and the sun is shining
What could be more defining
Of spring?

The same goes for motorbikes?

Bikes, a sure sign of spring
What of ones with a motor
Do they also make a ding?

Bikes, a sure sign of spring

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the lane
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Watch out for the spikes!

Island Life

An island
In the middle of the city
This is truly the fine land
Life worth a giddy

Spring is finally here (Weekly Photo Breakdown) 

Dandelion

By the road side
Between the rocks
Spreading its leaves wide
Hoping for a few rain drops
Just one flower now
Soon another one pops
If you wonder how
Well, there is a secret box…

Spring leaves

Spring has sprout
Time to break out
The old ukulele
And sing a song gaily
It may be a little early
Even for the birdy
What the hey!
It’s already May!

Buds of Spring

Little tree babies
Popping up daily
They look a little frail
Not too heavy on the scale
Certainly no size of a whale
But they won’t fail
And soon into leaves set sail
