Today's poet

[Nee Bother]

That's brilliant! Cheers NB. :thumbup:

Forty is turning out to be great so far. Had a great run at Glaisdale today. Loved every minute of it despite falling on my knees on a bridge then onto my chest in the mud...so undignified!

Ha ha pleased you liked it....couldn't get to computer on Sat to post though....belated birthday wishes.

....so undignified.........thats why we do it :-)

Just been out for a loosening jog with my new garmin...have discovered my geeky side but managed to turn off all the beeps so as not to spoil the solitude.

from golden coltsfoot
the mallard couple takes flight
nuptials disturbed

[Mossdog]

Glorious run over Monk's moor and along to Hardberry trig this evening, smoke signals abound all of the North Pennines it seems. The lapwings have switched to their soaring, switching, mating whistles, while plovers remain mournfully hidden.

Basking sunshine fell
The heather burners joyful
heat and sweat unite

Nice one Hes. Haven't yet spotted any coltsfoot this spring but I'll keep my eyes peeled! What a day - evening it's been.

Hes.....

Scribbled some words
Been rather naughty
Just found out
Wor Hesters' forty

A wish for a friend
I've yet to meet
Happy Birthday Hes
Is my greet.

If yer were here
A hug or a kiss
Alas, browse the thread
An mek do wi this.

Your words are clever
Your art is pretty
Happy Birthday Hes
Is my ditty.

Now that is great fun NB - brought a smile to me

any Curlew yet?
loads in Wharfedale yesterday,
and Oystercatchers!

[Hes]

It was the perfect day for a haiku wasn't it? I really like yours Mossy. There were lots of lapwings and oystercatchers my way today too and I heard the curlews again. I do love this time of year, so full of hope.

That coltsfoot was gorgeous...a little patch of sunshine.

They are back on the moors in Nidderdale and along the Ure!

Haiku and Curlew
Return in abundance now
Spring has truly sprung

[Old Whippet]

Woodpeckers greet spring
Bursts of automatic fire
Perforate the air
