Summer In the Meadow

Down in the meadow, bees are buzzing away cows laze about, after feeding all day Wildflowers attract butterflies, in pastel arrays lapping up nectar, in the warm sunny rays Down in the meadow, lambs frolic and play ladybirds climb grass tufts, that gently sway A farmer wipes his brow, whilst loading hay midges swirl about, as young horses neigh Down in the meadow, goldfinches come to lay gobbling down thistle seeds, without delay Baby spiders spin webs, in more than one way none of them mind each other, so all’s ok Down in the meadow, an old donkey brays don’t think he’s cross, just dislikes his dray The residents don’t care, what this ass says all have things to do, and ignore me anyway Monorhyme Originally posted 04/19/22 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 6 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mark Toney 07/04/22
