Lent Challenge Week 3

Glass at Baddesley Clinton 

Wednesday March 4th

A rich, weathered wall,

Wrinkles,

Patina,

Snowdrops drooping,

Time plays randomly!

Thursday March 5th

Simple pencil lines

Shape a child's head,

They make quiet sadness real.

Friday March 6th

As bees seek nectar,

Primroses smile in the sun,

Hope is in the air.

Saturday March 7th

Fundamental words:

'The English Church shall be free'

Magna Carta now.

Sunday March 8th Monday March 9th

A brief blaze of sun

Outlines the Malvern Hills:

A flash of the past flicks in....

Tramping the ancient paths

Over the skyline heights,

Gazing down, along, outwards,

God's hills, bedrock of our land:
 Then

The snapshot of sun-flare goes

The spotlight has been switched off,

Black clouds assert themselves

Drizzle and fog in tow

The intense moment’s gone.

Tuesday March 10th

Stealthily, a shape

Moves in the darkness,

A badger and I fix eyes.
