McManus is a poet from Carlisle, Cumbria, England. His haiku and senryu
have appeared in various journals all over the world. He currently works as a support worker for people with mental health
issues. In his spare time he enjoys watching films, sharing poetry with

L 1, the child's game of blowing away the seeds to find out what time it is, establishes the thematic context of the poem, while the shift in Ls 2&3 sparks the reader's emotions and reflection on nature and life.
