Spring is coming, spreading colour after
the white and cold of winter.
Spring is a dancer, weaving her magic
over us.
She is the joyful twittering of the birds, she
is the tallest tree with gnarled roots, she
can be in many places at once, keeping
nature alive.
The bright flowers wake under her gaze,
the hedgehogs and badgers stir in her
presence, she can coax the clouds from
the sky, she is waking the flowers, the
leaves, the trees, everything sees that
spring is coming, the children play under
her smiling eyes.
The cherry blossom blooms under the
warm sun,
Violet foxgloves swaying in the gentle
breeze.
The trees in hopeful bud are sprouting.
After a long struggle, spring is finally free
from the hooded man that is winter.

the sinister sea serpent
He lives in a cold icy cavern. He has slimy seaweed which drips annoyingly with salty sea water on top of his ice ice-moulded head. He has
fish lips which pout at the sight of raw meat or a hopeless human. He has gleaming red eyes which are like rubies glowing in spite of the
shining sun. He has a fin which is patterned with scales of all dull colours: swamp green, murky grey and midnight black. The whole of his
body is slim but it is made out of ice which never melts but only drips cautiously after hunting. But beware the Sinister Sea Serpent can grab
you with his gory grip or outwit you with his evil eyes.
