A BUMBLE BEE BUSIES

 

A bumble bee busies

A Butterfly rises and dips 

And there amid velvet petals

A single hummingbird sips

THE WILDLIFE DOWN UNDER

 

The wildlife down under

Includes the Wallabies

But if truth be known they’re

Just Kangaroo Wannabies

THE CHERRY BLOSSOM

 

The cherry blossom

Filled the tree

A brief spectacle

Of perfect beauty

Until the petals fell

Like pink snowflakes

And in the breeze

Danced like confetti

Outside the church

On our wedding day

THE STORM RAGED

 

The storm raged

Thunder roared

And lightning flashed

As rain fell unrestrained

From leaden skies

Like liquid knives

Dropping into the sodden land

Night came early

Beneath the slate grey

Until a tear in the fabric

Of the unremitting deluge

A perfect patch of blue

Showing through the heavy sky

Brought tranquillity

With a glimpse of heaven

Through the darkness

A beam of heavens light

Shone down upon the land

A beacon from above

To let us know

We are not forsaken

BUTTERFLIES FLUTTER BY # 2

 

Butterflies flutter by

On pale Cabbage white wings,

Heralds of beauty

THERE IS A MOTH IN THE BATHROOM

 

There is a moth in the bathroom

Drawn towards the light

My wife was in the shower

And it gave her a bit of a fright

 

I don’t understand why

If they are attracted to the light

They don’t just appear

When the sun is shining bright

THIS TALK OF CULLING BADGERS

 

This talk of culling badgers

Is completely unsound

If we keep discussing it

We’ll drive them underground

BATHED IN SUMMER SUNSHINE

  Bathed in summer sunshine Gentle breezes stir the stems But above in the golden sun Grow an array of perfect gems
