Lavinia 2

Lavinia will watch the tall grass grow
Instinctively she gently mocks the rain and wind
yet admire the moorhens
as the sunlight hoovers amongst the rivers side
She will circumference the moon
and ask you no questions why
reclusive to herself
she espy no tomorrows on the wherewithal

Fraternization

A big fat messy pineapple in a jam jar suit can only really be opposed by riotous fluffy teddy bears who sing lullabies to quash the storm fold. Wolf of the trees howls a pleasing tune to a passing cross country parade of heifers, moorhens, and large wading ducks. It is said that the trophy won will be constructs not from pink abseiling donuts but from radios, cars and a forty foot acorn. Swing then swim then. Eras exploding events exacting eons erupting. Eel juice. Pods. Hahahaha and nowadays obsolete spelling hahahaha pleasure of seeing data structure in a bow tie holding a bowl. *** fraternization z


Swinging Singing Cygnets

On a nest of reeds, that soften like hay
She sits and she waits, so patiently
Perched upon those giant eggs swans lay
Unconcerned by the moorhens approach so blatantly
Awaiting the adorable cygnets emergence, their soft fur so grey.

The crack of their shell, that first hungry yell
all the secrets of survival, that one day she'll tell
She picks them up and dusts them off, each time they've fell
Carefully placed back inside the nest where they dwell.

When people see you, their held by rapture
Or the hungry fox, skulking for one to capture
Looking to catch round the neck, a very quick fracture
But Daddy scares him off with his puffed out stature!

Mummy cleans them and keeps them under her wing
A choir to cherish, they all cheep and sing
Another joyous reason, to appreciate the spring
Along with all that the good weather does bring!
