Sun on the market

A very happy market today, with people out enjoying the sun, chatting, joking with the vegetable stall holder and enjoying the warmth of the sun.

A draft one street poem:

Progression of spring

from shadow into the sun,
facing south beyond winter's roots
towards the promise of a new
season, courgettes, aubergines,
red peppers, welcome even if they're grown
under glass, light dances
on curls of green leaf, salades frisées,
women laugh and an old man smiles
as warmth returns to cold bones.
