My car has grown
A woolly cover, yours a crown.
The door-mat’s disappeared.
The hedge has grown a beard.
The bin’s a cornet. Laurel leaves
Are spoonfuls. Along the eaves
A row of glossy swords.
Starlings on the wires strumming chords.
Crocus strikes a match. Birds
Print on the lawn their lines of words.
Trees wear fur. Wire has learnt to knit.
Sheep aren’t white. Grubby as clwt
In need of bleach, they’re at the gate,
Waiting for hay and grumbling that we’re late.
Touch-down and lift-off, look, a crow’s
Been making angels in the snow.
GILLIAN CLARKE
