see Nature’s wonders

to come with me on my boat out to sea

as the temperature rose

she stripped off all her clothes

but sadly her dark hair stretched right down to her knees

the consummate elegance 

of the wielded bow,

low tears wrenched from moistened eyes,

released by the cello’s mood.

coax loud screams from the children

on Eve of all Hallows

Harrington (13)Best tread warily,

beneath this fragrant carpet,

sleeping fairies lie.

1FC18AC1-FC35-4973-A8CF-18EEC7FFD143On sombre faces

tears plough lines on blackened cheeks

coffins fill the thoughts.

Echoes of playground laughter

in the minds of Aberfan

As a river flows

following a path unknown,

nature takes it’s course

the rent man knocking, calls for

desperate measures,

those who buy her services 

seldom gain or give delight

somerleytonSly fox,  sleek hare and nervous deer,

from without the forest all will appear,

as one they pay homage, this October morn,

to, “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.”
