Frosted roofs covered with snow,
Robins glide around trees,
Gifts with silky bows.
Scents of mince pies in the air,
Roast dinner and Christmas pudding,
Sprouts as round as tennis balls.
Porridge on Christmas morning,
Toddlers throw snowballs,
Snowmen and carrot noses.
Frozen over lakes,
Ice-skaters dance and fly,
Waterlogged grass.
The bicycle leaned against the birch tree,
waiting to be noticed.
Handlebars mossy and covered in white flowers,
waiting to be noticed.
Pedals, buried in soil,
waiting to be found.
The wheel – tire and spokes,
waiting to be found.
The frame, sitting helpless and corroded,
waiting to be used.
The saddle, with a rusted spring,
waiting to be used.
