Elizabeth Pulford
Writer
Blue Danube and Meatballs
She comes from the garden
tatty trousers
recycled footwear
hears the radio
waltzing a tune
and becomes young again
her dancing feet
gliding
around the bench
until a voice from the garage shouts
‘What’s for dinner?’

Dance of the snowdrops
A sneeze of snowdrops
spirits upon the dark days
the dark earth
shy young maidens
all gussied up
in green and white
slim of stalk
stretching upwards
on icy toes
ballerinas
beneath
lantern-like bonnets
swaying
in a shivery
sunshiny spring.
