Summer

0 Conversations



Not a cloud

     in the razor bright blue

Pale haze

     blurs the horizon

No breath of air

     stirs leaf or hair

Thick dust

     dun and dreary

     chokes roadside weeds



Nettles and docks

     plantains and thistles

Droop

     in the dry

     oppressive heat

Pollen beetles

     from fading rape

Drawn

     resistless

     to yellow T-shirts



Dozy bees

     crawl

     on wilting fox gloves

An exhausted thrush

     wings hung limp

Stands panting

     on a gate post

     feathers ruffled


Summer is hell!



Roll on Winter...

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
