Blizzards swirling Aberdeen
Battering the beaches
Filling hills with drifting fluff
whiter than their flocks of sheep
Icier and all pervasive
-
In softer Pennine spaces
gentle flurries leave a starchy
whiteness
freshly washed and ironed
Garment worn to celebrate the winter
show its finery of branches
extended elegant in golden air
Across the vasteness sheep crop on
Rought coated bullocks search in
tussocks
tasty morsels salad-crisp
In their refrigerated world
ruminating on the distance
-
Power station puffs
Cooling towers in huddled groups
squat along the Yorkshire Plain
limned in icy sunlit air
towards the far horizon
Cloud-forming in scintillated
sunshine
-
Valleys roaming down along
softening slopes of white
Forests curving out the line
with spiky sparkling branches
glooming darkened trunks
-
On gentle rounded hillsides
windmills
Figures in a landscape
making merry with flirty winter
zephyrs
-
..and I would dance with a windmill
over hills and down valleys
dance with a windmill to the
distance
