in an indigo blue shading

was trained on Jim's person
making ready to chase

has a humdrum appearance
it's shaded in grey

the snaking river's journey
en route to blue seas

did come the Atlantic swirl
reeking havoc's toll

didst come in a primrose bloom
of vibrant pink blush

emerge from winter's cocoon
of white snow wrapping

danced around the elm trees
teasing their leaves

with millions of pinholes
on this clear bush night

who view such a bright display
*its brilliance so grand

ticks away its years advance
unto a dotage

o'er the river's snaking course
on day break dawning

in our township's sleeping streets
dense is its heavy shroud

tis a good signal for rain
