Bobbing umbrellas
Puddle jumping kids
Squeezing grass bubbles
Under foot
Crying chestnuts
Weeping willows
Pitter patter windows
Metronome wind screens
Grateful Daisies
~
Indifferent lovers
Uncaring cattle
Whinging oldsters
Happy gardeners
Brooding clouds
Counterpane heavy
Bequeathing succour
On tombstone lichen
Life clings to stony death
~
Pebble dashed ponds
Shiny pavements
Dripping gutters
Carton boats sail
Kerbstone rivers
To oblivion down
Gurgling drains
And green, green grow
England’s fields’
