(Nimue)
Turning
Snow drops ice white emerging
The year turns, life comes again
Celandine in hopeful yellow
Growing new and bright again
Lambs in fields, newly delivered
The year turns, life comes again
Final frosts melt into water
Flowing now and free again.
Leafing trees their green unfurling
The year turns, life comes again
Catkins dancing, small birds calling
Nesting now, begin again.
Sweet the ducklings on the river
The year turns, life comes again
Feasts for otters, numbers dwindle
Fleeting life is lost again.
Dark the leaves of summer shading
The year turns, life comes again
Fox cubs wander, road side straying
Some survive to roam again.
Autumn shifts, red toned and freezing
The year turns, life comes again
Fall away to browns and fungi
Rotting down to live again.
Bare the trees, exposed the branches
The year turns, life comes again
Forming buds for next year’s growing
The wheel turns again, again.
This is another poem that’s come out of doing poetry classes with Adam Horovitz. The remit for this one was the use a repeating refrain.
Druid Life 
Lovely!! I think part of what makes the repeating refrain so powerful here is your variations on it. This is beautiful.
Thank you.
