Best Swathes Poems

On Armorial Shields,
The gathered bronze sheaths 
stood -
Cut through at the stalk...
Raised from time honoured
swathes.

Burnished like brushed...

Pied tidings of suburbian 
Magpies,
Squawking and squabbling,
Quarreling ferociously among 
Themselves -

Illusions,symbols of childhood,
coloured filled swathes of painterly

as the coming storm evokes despair.

Bright swathes of orange, blue and lavender
Join the swelling of buttercup mounds
Awakening scarlet petals of love.
Rowers slide by...

Gently flowing past,

Such cool water,

Bloom blush brilliant through my mind;
