Send the garden to dam…
but you can do the pronunciation.
Through the Ripples
Looking through the lily pond,
through light and shade and tone…
Looking deep, past flower and frond:
looking for my phone.
Bumper Harvest
Is your kitchen spacious?
Long and not too narrow?
Could you do a favour?
Could you take a marrow?
It won’t fit your basket;
it’s far too big to clutch.
I’ll wheel it round in the barrow.
Thank you, oh so much!
