Thanks

Many thanks to the kind folk who donated yesterday.
I have been slaving over a hot computer in our office today, so little time, places to go, people to see.
Yesterday's efforts are also shorter so have added a tiny extra.

Swans Floating on Floods 

A swollen river three times as wide
Footpaths lay drowned just beneath
O’er summer meadows swans glide
Their regal daintiness disaster hides
Natures gift of inheritance bequeath. 

Storms, wave on wave of heavy rain
Leaves quiet flooded riverside fields
Like porcelain candy bowls deign
Over temporary lakes the swans reign
This wetlands kingdom newly yields.
 
 
Vase of White Flowers 
The sure presence of white flowers
In a vase without pretence
Filling the thoughts of floral bowers
Of blossom petals in perfumed showers
Shown as classic evidence
 
The Water Spider 
The subject was:
The Water Spider
As in front of the TV I sat
Such details about
This little glider
My attention was
That of a Gnat
