Re-Verse - 9. Two Summer Sevenlings
As the darkest time of the year approaches, I thought two short bursts of summer might come in useful.
Long sunlit days lighten my soul
I marvel at dragonflies, their bejewelled
Brilliance reflected in so many blooms
Leaden skies threaten and lower
Winds howl their fury, rain slashes down
Nature’s rage let rip
Alas, this too is summer now
~~~~~~
On a sunlit terrace, lunch is served
Wood pigeons feast on glossy seeds, a robin sneaks morsels away
But all leave the table when the finicky squirrel arrives.
The dinner menu attracts new guests
Meal worms are the star attraction as hedgehogs hold sway,
Climbing onto the table, in the unseemly haste to eat their fill.
Everyone deserves to eat well, no matter who they are.
An explanation of a sevenling may be found here. It's a form which I like. These two are reposted from my external blog.
