Winter Jasmine.

The canvas from my window

has a sky that's painted bleak.

Buckled boughs of barren trees

stand beneath this sky of flint.

 

Washing over hidden hedges

waves of listless ivy flow.

With here and there a brighter tint

on younger, lime stroked leaves.

 

Sprigs and twigs, cascading down,

a waterfall of winter.

Painted gold, in shade and shadow

the yellow Jasmine grows.

Highly Evocative

Very pictorial, without descending into prose.  Excellent work!

Thank you very much, I wanted to capture all I could see from where I was sitting, at a sideways angle looking through a window. Sue.
