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

SWEET BELLS

 

Sweet bells

Long racemes

Of pinkish flowers

Abundant on

Bushy Deciduous shrubs

Across eastern States

WIND AND TEMPEST

 

Wind and tempest

Rain and flood

The chimney falls

With a thud

After the lightning storm

And booming thunder

Uprooted trees

Roofs torn asunder

But in the calm

As we convalesce

In the aftermath

There is a cleanness

DAYLIGHT WAS DECLINING

 

Daylight was declining

As twilight loomed

As behind the horizon

The sun was consumed

DARK CLOUDS CONCEALED

 

Dark clouds concealed

The firmament

The moon and stars

Still shone

Though not apparent

And heavens jewels

Remained, unseen

WHISPERING BELLS

 

Whispering bells

The viscid herb

Inhabiting the arid places

With its sticky leaves

And pendulous bell like

Yellow flowers

Blooming in the desert

Of the south-western states
