An English Summer

blackbirds sqwark.
    hungry magpies try their luck
  where pigeons coo;
children's voices echo long
   on imagination's highway;
leather sounds on willow,
    outfielders idly doze
spectators quietly clap ;
 and  sleepy snores
   sounds the days away.


Inspired by Laura's contest
