As the I visited one of my local parks the other day, I was reminded that although the blossom hasn't fallen yet, Spring has most definitely sprung. Even here 'Up North' (in the UK) where it's be decidedly grim most of the time, winter is coming yada yada yada 😂 But in all seriousness it is a well known fact that George R R Martin took a great amount of inspiration from the Wars of the Roses and his medieval history studies.

When Ned stark says 'Winter is coming' he could be talking about the north of England. Yet, we're having a decidedly early Spring this year, and us Northerners are relishing the early daffodil blooms 🤣

Anyway, as I wandered calderstones park of which I've written extensively on Hive, check out the link above if you'd like to learn more about the park. This poem sprung to my mind as it engenders that feeling of Spring which is in the air... which I'm fully enjoying before we end up back with the rain-soaked climate we're so used to banging on about night and day.

Enough ranting freewriting from me for now, I'll let the poetry speak for itself - I do urge you to listen to the SoundCloud version I've shared while reading the text, as it gives a good impression of what I'm trying to do with the inline rhymes and other poetic devices.

Thanks for reading 🙂🌿
