THE HONEY BEE AND THE ROSE

 

The honey Bee

Loves the flower

In particular the Rose

But the flower is indifferent

Doesn’t need his love returned

For Rose is his passion

A bird sings in the stillness

Its sweet song drifting

On the lemon scented breeze

As evening approached

FLAMES OF THE FOREST

 

Leaves like tongues of fire

Set the scene ablaze

Kenya’s Flame trees

Burning bright in paradise

But shadow soon gave way

With Golden discs of light

And when the forest thinned

Moonlight pierced the darkness

And shafts of lunar light

Like a brilliant laser show

Illuminated the forest floor

THE SAVAGE NATURAL SCENE

 

The savage natural scene    

In the winter meadow

Where the Falcon feeds

His talons red in the snow

AUTUMN MORNING

  The mist cascaded down the hillside Like a maiden’s hair Tumbling onto her shoulders The bare branches of the birch trees Pierced ...
