The neighbours cut our trees in half

Grief in green
Forlorn you stand
Still tall
But only half your beauty

The neighbours thought you messy

Your brother
Mutilated last year
In agony send pilot shoots
Across the garden
10 meters away in hope
Of survival

Or garden is like the opening
Of Asterix and Obelix

One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.

Asterix and Obelix

A green oasis
Amidst baren order
Tidy boredom without bees
Grashalms stand at attention

Climate Change

Spring
Springs
Sprang
Sprung
Unexpectedly
In the midst of February
In the midst of winter

Joy
Spreads
Spread
Spread
Fully
Burst into colours
Bathed in sunshine

Panic
Begins
Began
Begun
At the realisation

Of what man
Had done
