Dove Day Afternoon

A dry stone wall
of moss-grown granite
staggers
lush undulating plains
swaggers
prickly yellow gorse
bows
at a curvaceous hollow
where a copper stream gurgles under.

Sheep fluff velvet meadows
mirror cotton clouds above,
stooped
they graze on pea green fields,

blotched blurs
clamber
to higher ground.

Lilting melodies
lace the trees
sweeping the air
with Elderflower blossom
on a dove day afternoon.
