Random ramblings on a ramble in the countryside …
Daybreak beckons;
countryside’s sprawl welcomes;
hedge-rows serenading with
sweetest birdsong.
~~~
Wooded copses
hosting wind-led symphonies.
Frost glistening,
ice grasping
unsuspecting feet.
~~~
Sun smiles fleetingly,
as grey clouds gather
to precipitate with faintest
‘pitterings’ on outer garb.
~~~
Dissonance:
of rifle crack
heralding
unwanted creatures’
untimely demise;
of pheasants’
startled screech,
disturbed in love-making.
~~~
Sleepy village disregarding,
save watchful felines
suspiciously guarding
territory, threatened
by intrusive stranger.
~~~
River rippling gently,
effortlessly meandering
toward oceanic destination
~~~
And me … perambulating,
happy as a lark
in natural environ.
