Summery Sounds

(Picture Credit - Geraniums by Credit Mijn tuins org)

Busy humble bumble bees buzz and hum amongst my geraniums.

I squeeze past them as they hover

From flower to flower,

On my way into my electric blue

Kia Rio car.

At last the sun is out here,

Brightening up my garden vista.

Most days we have wallowed

Under a sea fret,

Feeling cold and damp

And annoyed

By news of record high-temperatures

Inland.

But now it’s warm and sunny,

With Red Admiral butterflies

And my back-garden Abelia Shrub –

“Beauty Bush or Pink Cloud” –

Bedecked with light pink flowers

With their subtle aroma.

My days of sport have gone well

And I can sit back in my armchair

And relax.
