of flash floods
stair-rods
flash floods
cloud bursting dogs
stair-rods bursting into tempests and dogs
into tempests
thunder, cats and thunder
and lightning
and lightning
cats and lightning

From, A Country Diary



Claxton (third)

 
rooks overhead
rooks that fly
all that fly overhead
sedge warblers, they scratch away
all sedge warblers
mimicking as they scratch away
mimicking linnets
the metal gate
as linnets and clanging the metal gate
and Hereford cattle
Hereford cattle clanging
Hereford cattle
