ON A STORMY NIGHT

On a stormy night
As strangers slumber
Around the gables
The wild wind howled
And rain hit the panes
Like thrown gravel
As the lightning struck
And thunder growled

THE HEATHERS ON THE HILLSIDE

The Heathers on the hillside
And Buttercups in the meadow
The Bluebells in the woods
And Orchids in the hedgerow
What a green and pleasant land
Where the wild flowers grow

AS THE EVENING LIGHT FADES

As the evening light fades
The sky takes on a twilight hue
Until the stars appear above
And the moon comes into view

THE RED KITE

The Red Kite
Beautiful in flight
In the cape verde sky
Raptor flying high

FROM THE BREAK OF EACH NEW DAWN

From the break of each new dawn
When heralding the new day
The sun crests the horizon
To Paint the eastern sky
With natures orange glow
Until it sets again
In majestic splendour
Beyond the western hills
And is swallowed by the darkness
It gives life with its benevolent light

LITTLE BIRD BRING US

Little bird bring us
Your sweet song
To woodland
And to meadow
Usher in another
Blessed summer

Always a joy to read.

While I liked LITTLE BIRD BRING US, it was just short, in my humble opinion, of scanning properly some how.

Thanks Tailor - I agree with you about LITTLE BIRD BRING US. I will have to rework it
