Summertime
Early mornong sun creeps over the hill,
Summer dawn.....world silent and still,
Cud chewing cows sit on dew drenched grass
Berries on bushes shine like polished glass.
Swift flying swallows tumble oer the meadow.
Bees seek nectar from dandelions yellow,
Bleating sheep on distant hill
Sounds float oer morning still.
Air perfumed with new mown hay
Early morn, summers day.
Vibrant colours they delight
Cloudless sky...pierciengly bright.
When the sun sinks in the wesr
Heals up all the world in rest
Ivory coloured moon hangs overhead
Dimond sparkling stars on black velvet bed
As the daylight sinks away
End of a perfect summer day....

The Acorn
An acorn on an oak tree grew,
The wind around him gently blew,
It whispered to him quite softly
'Some day from your mother
You will be free
To grow and be a mighty tree'
'Who'? 'Me'? A mighty oak'?
The little acorn thought this a joke.
Cruel autumn wind whistled round
And knocked the acorn to the ground.
A little girl passing by
The small acorn she did spy
She picked ot up but let it fall
Down a nearby rabbit hole.
All winter long it lay inside
Soon it withered and turned dry
In the springtime a shoot of green
From the acorn could be seen.
It grew and grew, as years rolled by
Soon it reached up to the sky.
So it was a tale come true
A mighty oak
From the acorn grew...........

Lovers
Young lovers seek perfection,
Old lovers sew shreds together,
And see beauty in a multiplicity of patches.

Autumn Moon
Oh Autumn moon
Heavenly lantern in an angry sky,
Casts an eyrie shadow
Through black sailed galleons
Upon a leafy covered forest floor.
Oh Autumn moon,
Shining through naked trees,
Branches like tentacles
Sway in a western breeze.
Oh Autumn moon
Light a silver pathway
Upon a heaving sea
Guide my loves ship safely
Home to me, to me, to me
