thorntree lane ( a brief poem )

…




i thought of you on thorntree lane

there was nought in the way of rain

the sky was dry - unstirred the drains

no ghost emerged

on thorntree lane


there are no trees on thorntree lane

not much beyond the shut café

as then 'twas night not t'other - day

no owl did hoot

on thorntree lane


there are no thorns on thorntree lane

this funny name eludes explain

i pause & feel my tickled brain

it thinks of you

oh thorntree lane

don’t try to catch a falling star ( 8 lines of health ‘n’ safety )

…




don't try to catch a falling star

you'll lose your hand perhaps an arm

or leap to kiss you'll lose your face

they aint feathers - they come from space

bits of debris & meteorite

wish from a distance 'pon a night

don't try to catch a falling star

you'll lose your face

perhaps an arm

nature knows ( under a minute of read-thing )

…



yes nature knows

the price of tea

in china like

their steel it's cheap


the saying goes

as followed through

please see above

now back to you


as it's all maths

uncharted maps

the margins &

the paragraphs


confusion reigns

on subject brains

yet kings aint

nature - smudges stain


a wonky smile

of maybes too

zephyrus west

breeze sneeze a clue


there's wicked tricks

plus booby traps

so please fill in

the many gaps


thus help us out

is this a quiz?

yes buzz in if

you think it is


with answers please

please some of those

& no cheating

as nature knows
