Poem
When the sun shines in the sky and no clouds can be seen A walk along the river bank is like a lovely dream Down from the bridge the narrow stony path winds Grassy banks on either side in which white butterflies glide Insects bussing on the wing Through the nettles without a sting On down the path it widens out and we see the rivers natural beauty With swans and ducklings here on show their parents on feeding duty In and out the reeds they swim the little heads ducking through water dim But then again out in the sun their tail feathers waving a good job done This display is truly cute as round the weeds the little ducks scoot All covered in that fluffy down not quite ready or dressed for town A swan her nest built at the other side watches her chicks as they glide They are so very young and small with little short necks which will grow tall Ugly ducklings they may be now but watching the grownups we just say “wow” The forms that nature her beauty does show the best designer could never know The dappling water with diamonds bright shines in the sunshine with delight Gliding over the stones made smooth through the years It comes to the waterfall to cascade down like a million tears Into a pool which is dark and deep then on it flows the river never sleeps The white flowers of the hawthorn are joined their blooms to share With beautiful wild pink roses entwined amongst them here and there The grasses sway as their seed heads grow out to catch your legs The tickle soft and gentle is asking pick me will you my seeds please spread Then the smell of honeysuckle brings perfume to the nose A wonderful display of nature on show as the river gently flows
