#Tanka 47 — Sleeping Snails

Snail shells, ornate,
laid bare in February,
their seals intact.
Succulent shoots break cover;
gastropod heaven ascends.

#Tanka 46 — Coal

Materialised
overnight, huge lump of coal
in garden border.
Inked carbon slick with rainfall,
December too warm for snow.

One daffodil bud
Solitary winter scout
Is it safe to bloom?

Woodland winter damp
That aroma of leaf mulch
Rich nature unraked
