On the River Colne
\nA tributary of the Thames, water cold
\nAnd clear
\nDuck families Swan and Moorhens
\nRapidly appear
\nLooking down from off the wall
\nIn Street the vibrancy
\nOf crystal water and bright green plants
\nIt is a joy to see<\/p>\n
All that rich zooplankton
\nWatching the ducks survive
\nBy dipping their heads
\nAnd consuming the riches
\nWith such enormous pride
\nThose honey coloured cottages
\nAll along the way
\nArlington Row on Awkward hill
\nBuilt centuries ago<\/p>\n
As a monastic wool store
\nBut converted to
\nA row of weavers cottages
\nImagine that will you
\nWhen Richard 11 was king here
\nIn 1380 he
\nRuled when the 100 year war
\nWas raging
\nImagine That would be
\nHorrendous to imagine
\nLooking at them now
\nA Cotswold dream location
\nExclamation WOW<\/p>\n
The street allows some parking
\nAnd sitting on the wall
\nLooking up at the verdant growth
\nWild the frantic call
\nOf myriad birds cavorting
\nRed kites circling too
\nPigeons blackbirds varying songsters
\nMake our dreams come true<\/p>\n
Valerian and other plants
\nGrowing on the wall
\nFed by joy and laughter
\nAnd spirits as a rule
\nOf thumb, the many tourists
\nAnd visitors come share
\nThe hidden gems of Bibury
\nAnd all the wonders there<\/p>\n
Masses of wild roses
\nOf every kind of hue
\nBursting with benevolence
\nFed with copious dew
\nYou can feel the exuberance
\nProlific and verboseb
\nHarmony and euphony
\nAll so grandiose<\/p>\n
It truly is a dreamy place
\nWhere streams of consciousness
\nWork into one\u2019s monologues
\nA blessing for the blessed
\nA faultless perfection
\nQuintessence actually
\nA place sought out to paddle
\nAnd of utter jollity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
