Dappled water – small river –
Between banked – bulrushes tall –
Calls the blush red – of May sun to arise –
Misted, over fields –

Nature – in her timeless whisper –
Gentle – to winds unplanned –
Ripple, sway all grasses – in dance –
Meadow – winged songstral’s –

Sweet trill – their eternal song –
Over warming – time –
That nature brings –
Through early year growth –

All young life anew –
All nature – to renew –
Piscine Minnows- in gold light shadowed –
Swim gladiator – in drifting style.

Whilst above – Heron’s callous stiletto beak –
Gimlet eyed – seeks –
Movement – in the deep deep weed –
To swallow – innocent trout.

Swaying splendored – the rushes –
Velvet – blooms nodding –
lengthened days – of summer promised –
A Dormouse – .dextrous –

Nest – cosy – warm –
A ball of fine grass – fashioned –
In ways – only to those that know –
Holds this seasons young –

Evening soft – Sundown shadows –
Balmy – of breeze –
Barn Owl – sees –
A morsel scamper in the reeds – mouse – so small.
