overnight rain

 overnight rain


the unripe plums are falling fast

tiny apples strewn across the grass


the test’s on a knife edge says breakfast radio

the sun’s coming out  oh i say  what oh


the tables are drying in steam’s dream

the greenhouse is open so it would seem


like all in the garden is growing just for me

wood pigeons coo drying in the silver tree

foxy retuning home to his warming bed

coffee for me what else can be said


perhaps a scone and jam with loads of cream

after a midsummer’s night a perfect dream

reign on sunny morning after rain in the night

for god’s in his heaven everything’s alright
