springtime in York

December was long this year

it seemed to last til May

coldness cut the stone

the temperature was grey


shadows appear deeper

walls seem to shiver

grass resists each step

do not trust the river


When the daffodils sprout 

winter melts away

the yellow on the hill

marks a special day


morning has slowly come

the birds begin to sing

colour is no longer hidden

York has entered spring
