SOUTH WESTERN MISSION BELL

 

The Mission bells

Blooming herb

Of the south-western States

With dark purple

Bell-shaped flowers

Mottled with green

TRANQUILLITY DESCENDS

 

Tranquillity descends

And sunshine reigns

When the storm abates

And peace remains

BEES ATTENDED TO THE ROSES

 

Bees attended to the Roses

As Butterflies fluttered by

The great artist mixed his blue

And with it painted the sky

And the sweet scent of lavender

Lingered long on the afternoon air

Should we ask for better?

I don’t think we dare

BABBLING STREAM INTO RIVER

 

Babbling stream into river

Flows on through the lea

Skirting woodland as it winds

On the move constantly

Cutting thru meadow sweet

On its journey to the sea

THE CHAFFINCH

She builds her nest

In the time of spring

And then to find a mate

She must patiently sing

 

Chaffinch sing your song

So charmingly

From your high branch

Up in the chestnut tree

THE SEEDS OF LOVE

 

The seeds of love move

Wind-blown in the breeze

And settle on fertile ground

To germinate in willing hearts

THE CHANTICLEER HERALD

 

The chanticleer herald,

Cockerel strutting proud

Crowing to the dawn

With voice Clear and loud
