…

a pples tumble down

   another summer stumbles

   ants soar above us

u nder shrouds of cloud

    ushering a hawthorn hue

    unicorns weeping

g reen is greengages

   gourdish hordes of cucumbers

   grass is golden bales

u mber is the sun

   until september nestles

   upon these thistles

s he will sneeze again

   swooping on the prickled fools

   soothsayers say so

t oads rain by teatime

   tomorrow pokes a wasp hive

   tossers scribble on

…
