Ten; Around Then Anyway

A momentary lapse of…
A reason to believe in dreams
Cobbled stones

Rough-hewn meadow lanes
Summer skies

Children’s joy, butterflies
Bilberry bush, strawberry jam

Birds and bees
Picnics by the big house lake
A fleeting glimpse of…
A season to remember a stinging sense
The cane, caning to care
Wrapped in cotton wool
Playground pranks, slipper and spanks
Education’s cock and bull
A flashing passing of…
An aromatic memory of yesteryear
Tar-macadam steam
Workmen by the brazier
Smelting, melting, snorting, blowing
Machines amortise nature

Blackening the country mile
