Sunday in Spring

Two fields over, Rooks argue
a raucous parley that
goes on and on and on
while other birds sing prettily

They must be laughing

They must be laughing up in Norway
or in Canada you know
at the fuss we make in England
when we have a little snow

Sides they must be splitting
Out in Russia, Moscow way
as our headlines speak of chaos
caused by snow that fell today

Mother Nature (6) – Rose

Celebrating nature over
seven vibrant days
Her hand of wonder covered
in seven different ways

It’s day six and here we have the rose
the flower of England’s story
from House of Tudor’s history
to give heraldic glory

Lincoln Tranquil

I’m at Lawress Hall in Lincolnshire
the county of the green
Midst the pride of England’s glory
quite the best that’s to be seen

Being English….

Show no emotion, hold everything back
Say  ’I think we need a bit of support’ when you are under fatal attack

Daisy

In between the buttercups
Daisies in a throng
Suggesting that the summer
has finally come along

A picture of England

Bodiam beckoned
as the sunshine was sent
and I took in the view
from the high battlement

Bequeathed by grace

Bereft of foliage
great trees stand
proudly gracing
England’s land
There amongst
the winter green
the rolling landscape
clearly seen

The green and fair

 

England’s green and fair
our inspiration today
from St Martha’s Hill
