Summer Dawn







Summer Dawn

My sleeping children are still flying dreams
in their goose-down heads.
The lush of the river singing morning songs
Fish watch their ceilings turn sun-white.
The grey-green pike lances upstream
Kale, like mermaid's hair
points the water's drift.
All is morning hush
and bird beautiful.

If only,
I didn't have flu.

Spike Milligan 1918 - 2002

  1. Ah, Spike Milligan - so much poetry and emotion and he could never resist the final joking comment to deflate the moment. Love the sunflower - we have two that we didn't plant; thank you birds:-)

  4. Aw, so nice to see this verse from Spike Milligan. Absolute genius. He colours in your pics are lush, cheered me up no end.
