Just Whiling Away

All before was green The pool like glass, serene Waterboatmen skated by A Kingfisher flashed the eye The Dragonfly mates on wing As distant Warblers sing The rushes bend and sway As the Heron stalks his prey Flowerheads stretch their petals The Red Admiral lands and settles Spreads his wings , takes the sun Soaks the heat as nectars won All is calm beneath blue skies Ripple given by the odd Trout rise Breezes borne of butterfly wings Sweet the air a fragrance brings Earth and air the quiet share Picture drawn of natures care Colours taunt, flaunt the eye Sit and watch as time goes by
