There's true craft in this blog, the green turning to copper after the bright rust-red... Now let's go slowly, very slowly, towards the end of the year savouring each step before meeting...the laughing Green Knight's battle axe!
That first line just stopped me in my tracks... so eloquent and such delightful image!
The rest of the poem is lovely but if I'm honest the copper tresses seemed a bit "grown up" to fit with the exuberant playground explosion of colour that the first two lines conjured up for me. Great work though...
I always used to love walking down by the Water of Leith in an Edinburgh winter... such beautiful colours reflected in the water!
The trees have been playing with paints again:
Love it, painting trees.
